Teaching

I teach medical students who attend my NHS clinic and provide teaching and supervision for optometrists and nurse practitioners in my NHS practice.  I also provide an annual half day teaching session for GP trainees as well as teaching ophthalmology trainees as part of the in house teaching programme.  I also teach community optometrists as part of my private practice.
