• Participate in audits, evaluations, and observations to ensure compliance with policies and protocols.
• Provide specialist nursing advice and post-injection care to patients and carers, addressing concerns and ensuring well-being.
• Contribute to the evaluation and implementation of new equipment and services related to Ophthalmic care.
• Ensure the accurate recording of patient information, both manually and electronically, and maintain confidentiality of sensitive data.
