Join to apply for the Highly Specialist Orthoptist role at The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is seeking an experienced, motivated, and proactive Orthoptist to join a team of 3 Orthoptists at Hillingdon and Mount Vernon Hospitals. The role involves working across community clinics, developing extended roles in AMD clinics, and managing a varied workload including orthoptic/optometry clinics, joint consultant paediatric and adult motility clinics, stroke assessments, and emergency referrals from GPs and other specialties.
The department provides comprehensive ophthalmology services with clinics in Paediatrics, Ocular-motility, Botulinum Toxin, AMD, Diabetic, Glaucoma, Medical Retinal, Oculoplastic, and Corneal. Staff participate in training medical students, optometrists, nurses, and other health professionals from Imperial and Brunel Universities.
