SpaMedica Cataract Post-op Accreditation Evening
Wednesday 27th April 2022 | 6 – 9pm
SpaMedica Wokingham, Quoin House, Fishponds Road, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG41 2QJ
SpaMedica invite you to their Cataract Post-op Accreditation Evening on Wednesday 27th April 2022.
Refreshments will be provided. There will be limited spaces so the event is first come first serve.
SpaMedica is currently the number one provider of cataract surgeries for NHS patients in the UK; performing more than 90,000 surgeries each year within our Thirty-Seven hospitals based across the North West, the Midlands, Yorkshire, South East and South West.
A key part of our cataract service is being able to offer our patients the opportunity to have their cataract post-operative assessment at their referring optician’s practice – 73% of our patients’ post-op assessments are booked in and managed by more than 4,200 accredited community optometrists.
The feedback we receive from our accredited partner optometrists is overwhelmingly positive and the main benefits of becoming accredited are:
-
- Short waiting times for NHS patients:
- 1-2 weeks for assessment, further 2 weeks for surgery
- Dedicated experts in the SpaMedica team supporting you with cataract and other ophthalmic queries
- Patient helpline to answer patient queries directly about their referral and treatment
- Positive and happy patients giving you increased customer loyalty
- Additional revenue streams
- for post-op assessment appointments
- new prescription glasses for patients following surgery
- Short waiting times for NHS patients:
Our accreditation evening runs from 6.00pm to 9.00pm. SpaMedica is registered with the GOC as a CPD provider and you will receive two interactive CPD points for attending our SpaMedica Cataract Post-op Accreditation session.
You will need to have been qualified for a minimum of one year to be eligible to become a SpaMedica Cataract Post-op Accreditation Partner.
If you are already accredited to our post-op scheme, then attending this session is not mandatory, but you are welcome to book a place for a refresher and receive two CPD points.
Please note this is not a Berkshire LOC Event.
