What this means for the profession

03

The FTY brings together a nationally coordinated approach to placement provision, supporting collaboration across education providers and placement settings.

"By acting as supervisors and placement providers, optometrists play a vital role in shaping the next generation of the profession."

This will support:  

      • a new generation of IP ready graduates entering the workforce, 
      • stronger collaboration between universities, NHS Scotland and placement providers, 
      • a clear, nationally supported approach to placements and supervision, and 
      • a more sustainable, future ready workforce.
