Professional Higher Certificate in Glaucoma

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 under the mentorship of a consultant ophthalmologist. The placement must enable the student to gain experience of at least 150 cases. As a minimum guideline, one session (half day) 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 partnerships with the MDT Eye Academy at Leeds Teaching Hospitals and with York Teaching Hospital.
