Location and Schedule
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ophthalmic technician to work in the ophthalmic department primarily at Edgware Community Hospital with some sessions at Barnet Hospital. Both sites are part of the Royal Free London ophthalmology service. We see patients with a number of ophthalmology conditions, including medical retina and glaucoma. You may be expected to work at other ophthalmic clinics within the trust if needed.
