Communication
1. To communicate condition-related information, including the diagnosis and its implications to patients, relatives and carers, especially where this may have a major impact e.g. a child is partially sighted or blind. This may require explanation of clinical information to those who have difficulty understanding i.e. learning difficulties, hearing problems, stroke, emotional problems, people with a high level of anxiety i.e. with sudden onset double vision and those who use English as a second language.
2. To liaise with and provide detailed medical information to all members of the Community Eye Service and other professions as necessary in order to establish a high quality co-ordinated Service, e.g. Education, other health care professionals, GP’s and Eye Clinic Liaison Officer (ECLO).

8. There is often a requirement to impart upsetting news to parents/carers regarding the discovery of very poor sight in one or both of their child’s eyes, along with the appropriate course of treatment which can be distressing to parents. There is also the requirement to inform patients and parents/carers of the need for a surgical procedure and complications. Patients with incurable double vision need to be advised of the fact that their condition cannot be cured and is unlikely to change. They may no longer be eligible to drive
9. There is occasional exposure to safeguarding children issues and to terminally ill patients whose eye condition may be one of the first signs of deterioration e.g. brain tumour - the Orthoptist is often asked by the patient if it is connected to their illness. Also occasional exposure to otherwise healthy patients whose eye condition is the presenting symptom e.g. multiple sclerosis.
Key Relationships:
• Orthoptists and Ophthalmologists across Bedfordshire in all clinical settings
• Patients, relatives and carers
• Administration staff at all bases
• Local Optometrists
• 0-19 years teams (School nurses, Health Visitors)

The Jobtana Sites act as, among other things, venues for (i) employers to post job opportunities and search for and evaluate job candidates and (ii) candidates to post resumes and Profiles and search for and evaluate job opportunities. Jobtana does not screen or censor the listings, including Profiles offered. Jobtana is not involved in, and does not control, the actual transaction between employers and candidates. As a result, Jobtana is not responsible for User Content, the quality, safety or legality of the jobs or resumes posted, the truth or accuracy of the listings, the ability of employers to offer job opportunities to candidates or the ability of candidates to fill job openings and Jobtana makes no representations about any jobs, resumes or User Content on the Jobtana Sites. While Jobtana reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove User Content, job postings, resumes or other material from the Jobtana Sites from time to time, Jobtana does not assume any obligation to do so and to the extent permitted by law, disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.
