WBPA/SKILLS

• You will be taught to use the slit lamp but try to use the ophthalmoscope at every opportunity as this is what you will be using in primary care.

• Learn how to use a tonopen as again this can be used in primary care instead of the slit lamp.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Try to sit in Casualty for at least 2 weeks supervised with the last few sessions running the clinics yourself, with the supervisor just as back up.
• Don't be hurried if you are overwhelmed ask for help
• It is important to admit in the beginning if you cannot do/see anything.
