Norfolk Autism Awareness Week – CPD Training
Coinciding with Norfolk Autism Awareness Week (2nd – 8th April), Health Education England has developed the Oliver McGowan mandatory learning disability and autism training programme as it’s a requirement for all CQC regulated health and care providers. It is not mandatory for optical practice staff. The barriers to eye care this group experience is well understood and so with HEE support,
SeeAbility is delivering Tier 1 training to optical professionals and non-clinical practice staff, including reception and optical assistant colleagues. Reception staff is usually the first point of contact but may be unaware of how the sight test can be made accessible including to patients who cannot access the letter chart. There are two parts to Tier 1 training:
1. Complete E-Learning https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/ on The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training On Learning Disabilities & Autism before you attend the webinar.
2. Attend the live 1 hour webinar (which has 1 interactive CPD point for registered professionals). The webinar is delivered by a trio of trainers including trainers with lived experience of learning disabilities and autism.
