About me
As lead of UWE Bristol Eye Clinic, a patient facing clinical space that delivers eye care to the university population and local community, I am responsible for developing a culture of continuous enhancement of eye care provision for the purpose of clinical training and service delivery for students enrolled on the BSc (Hons) and MSci Optometry courses at UWE Bristol.
Working alongside a multidisciplinary team of talented individuals, I ensure that the clinic delivers to required key performance indicators and adapts to changing circumstances whilst complying with clinical, professional, regulatory, and statutory requirements and maintains consistency with academic quality and governance. I deliver year-round patient care to local and wider communities, including eye examinations, contact lens fittings and aftercares, and specialist clinics, as well as clinical supervision, and provide high quality management and investigation of ocular disease.
My in-depth experience of optometry practice and service provision allows me to understand the issues and demands facing a commercial optical setting within a wider higher education context and achieve sustainability and expand the clinic into new markets. I facilitate and encourage a high level of performance in eye care provision and clinical supervision, whilst my commitment to continuous improvement to respond to customer, staff, and student requirements guarantees that the clinic delivers a high level of customer service within a competitive healthcare environment.
Utilising outstanding project management skills and an ability to develop new ways of working, I solve problems and effect change and enhance widening participation, equality, and social inclusion agendas, translating this into action and promoting equal opportunity wherever possible.
