I am a qualified Optometrist of 15 years and work part time in Vision Express, having previously managed independent practices and trained in specialist eye diseases. I have written articles for Optometry Today and Optician, and delivered training for ALCON, Vision Express, Specsavers and BCLA.
I am very excited to have now incorporated my passion for wellbeing into Optometry, and with my husband Piyus Tanna (also an Optometrist and secretary of LOC) have created multiple CPD ACCREDITED courses to deliver to eye care professionals.
As an eye care professional and as an individual if your wellbeing isn’t at its optimal then this can have a huge impact on your role as a professional, within a team in your workplace and of course for your patients. It is easy to lose your motivation or purpose, it is common to feel lost in your career and it can be difficult to navigate the constant changes you may be facing in the profession. We understand those emotions and feelings very well and want to support you in your journey and get you from where you are to where you want to be.
We want to show you how looking after your wellbeing and mindset can lead to a positive, productive and successful outcome for yourself and patients.
As eye care professionals it is also our role to look after the wellbeing of our patients, if they are feeling worried, anxious or simply not having a good day then this can impact the success of the visit. By acknowledging and being aware of this and being able to develop trust and a strong rapport between practitioner and patient this will no doubt result in a positive outcome.
Our courses aim to:
- Give you personal development and growth
- Understand mindset and wellbeing
- How to make changes in your present life
- Develop good communication skills
- Support strong trusting relationship between professional and patient
- Take away action points
- Interactive sessions
- Provide you with CPD Points
This programme has already been a success with eye care professionals who have said ‘it was a much-needed course’ and a wonderful opportunity to reflect, reset and refocus.
Sessions can be organised to be delivered via zoom or in-person.
We also offer sessions for pre-reg students (individual and group) to allow them to thrive not just survive in their pre-reg year.
The pre-reg year is one of the most important years and can be very stressful and overwhelming if the right mindset isn’t there to begin with it.
We show what changes the pre-reg can expect going from student life to pre-reg life and how to manage these changes positively during this crucial period.
For further details and how to book a session please get in touch.
