Professor Peter Scanlon

Clinical Lead, Gloucestershire Retinal Education Group

"I have for many years felt that there should be a recognised qualification in Ophthalmic Imaging but the original structure that had been set up for Healthcare Science qualifications involved working in a number of other departments which always seemed impractical. With the current more flexible approach by the National School this degree can focus on Ophthalmic Imaging and it is possible to attract apprenticeship levy funding for some students. I hope this will be an attractive prospect for those who wish to undertake a degree ‘on the job'."
