Description
Diabetic Eye Screening Wales provides a screening service for the early detection of diabetes related eye disease (diabetic retinopathy), helping to save the eyesight of the population that we screen.
There is an exciting opportunity to join our busy south Wales team, directly delivering screening clinics to patients primarily in the area, but with flexibility to work at clinic venues across South, Mid and West Wales.
This post involves capturing high quality digital images of the retina using specialised cameras.
For most sessions you will be accompanied by a Healthcare Assistant, but will also be expected to fulfil the Healthcare Assistant role to deliver clinics in line with service demand.
You will be expected to attain a retinal screening Diploma to be able to practice independently but full training and support will be provided.
We are looking for self-motivated, adaptable individuals who can be relied upon to use their own initiative as you will be expected to deal with varying aspects of duties ensuring a consistent integrated and safe approach to patient care.
An excellent understanding and experience of working with SLR digital cameras is required; with retinal fundus camera experience highly advantageous.
Public Health Wales is the National Public Health Institute in Wales.Our vision is 'Working to achieve a healthier future for Wales' where we play a pivotal role in driving improvements in population health and well-being, reducing health inequalities, improving healthcare outcomes, protecting the public and supporting the development of health in all policies across Wales.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.More jobs from Public Health Wales NHS Trust
