Press Release
Royal College of Nursing Congress
11 May 2009 - 14 May 2009
The RCN Congress will be the Eye Health Alliance's first conference of the year, which will take place in Harrogate. We will have a stand in the main exhibition hall with a fundus camera and we would also like to have some mobile equipment on the stand to demonstrate to nurses the wide range of services provided by optometrists and dispensing opticians.
Nurses often come into contact with patients who have not had a recent sight test, therefore educating them about the importance of eye health and regular sight tests is essential to ensure early detection and appropriate care.
