Entry Requirements For This Course
Applicants must be General Optical Council registered optometrists or other registered health professional and hold the College of Optometrists Professional Certificate in Glaucoma.
Students enrolling on this course must have arranged a placement in a hospital glaucoma clinic enabling them to gain experience of at least 150 cases. As a minimum guideline, one session per week for 6 months is recommended. This placement may commence any time after the initial practical workshop, though we highly recommend students complete as much of the taught component of the course as possible before commencing the placement. Applicants must provide details of a suitable clinical placement upon application using the form provided in the apply section above.
A limited number of placements are available through a partnership with the MDT Eye Academy at Leeds Teaching Hospitals. Please see the flyer for details of how to apply directly for these - MDT Eye Academy Clinical Placements.
