This week is AHP Support Worker Week, a chance to shine the spotlight on, and highlight, our fabulous Orthoptic and Ophthalmic Support Workforce. To mark the occasion, we’ve launched a whole new careers section, highlighting roles within the support workforce.
This includes a page with details on how to become an orthoptic clinical assistant, details on what might be involved, and case studies and videos giving more details.
As part of BIOS’s commitment to support and develop all areas of its workforce, we’re also using the opportunity to share some of the work we have been doing over the past few months, celebrate areas of success and let you know our plans for the future.
During a webinar on Monday, as well as launching our new careers resources, we shared the findings from our recent national survey, presented the benefits of Associate membership, and had an opportunity for members to ask questions. If you missed it, you’ll be able to access the recording via our website in the next few days.
Keep a look out on the social media pages during the week and please do share, so that we continue to raise awareness of this important and integral part of the team.
