Crynodeb
Nurses working in the Ophthalmology OPD provide a range of services including but not limited to, assessment of patients, measuring visual acuity and intraocular pressure, instilling eye drops, measuring visual fields and supporting patients care. The role of the ophthalmic nurse within the Ophthalmology OPD at St James Hospital is assessing and treating patients with various eye conditions. The high number of patients attending the outpatient department poses particular problems for the nurse, as she will be unable to learn about each patient's individual needs in detail and will need to action in a timely manner in order to maintain the patient flow in clinic and avoid delays. She must be aware of those patients who require particular attention in respect of their communication and mobility difficulties, which may result from visual impairment or from other physical impairments or both. These patients will usually be elderly although not always. The nurse needs to be aware of any special needs or circumstances and action accordingly and without delay. At Seacroft Hospital the registered nurse is required to assist with intravitreal injections (approximately 50 patients a day) or look after glaucoma patients (up to 50 patients a day) and the expectations of the role are the same as at St James's Hospital.
