Elgin
In this first video, Optometrist Lloyd Griffiths, alongside Pharmacist Aileen Sutherland, gives an inside look at working in a remote and rural community and shares what inter‑professional working looks like in a busy rural practice.
Kirkwall, Orkney
Our next video explores optometry in Orkney with Isla Kirkness, Optometrist and Partner with Clark Optometrists. In the video, Isla reflects on her return home to work and shares what she loves most, including the level of clinical responsibility and life in a small island community.
Portree, Skye
In our final video we meet Hannah Einarson, who moved from Canada to study optometry in Scotland and now works as the only optometrist on the Isle of Skye. She shares her experience of remote and rural practice, from supportive professional networks to an unbeatable outdoor lifestyle.
❤️ We’d like to thank Lloyd, Aileen, Isla and Hannah for generously sharing their time, experience and insight to support this work. It’s been great to see remote and rural optometry brought to life through these videos.
