Читать книгу Fundamentals Of Glaucoma: A Guide For Ophthalmic Nurse Practitioners, Optometrists And Orthoptists - Группа авторов - Страница 7

Glaucoma care in the UK is changing. More than ever before are non-medical healthcare professionals such as nurses, orthoptists, and optometrists becoming involved in caring for patients — carrying out tests, interpreting results, and contributing to management decisions as part of a multi-disciplinary team. To work efficiently as part of a team, each professional needs to have a fundamental understanding of each other’s role. This is particularly important when it comes to speaking with patients, some of whom will be anxious of having been diagnosed with a potentially sight-threatening disease. There are many excellent text-books on glaucoma, but this book fills a gap for a simple and concise overview of clinical glaucoma care. It is written at a basic level that will not be intimidating to the novice, and the compact format will make it easy to use. It will be a useful resource for all of those who are beginning to enter this area and would like to build their knowledge.
