Patient feedback is vital in order to improve the service. All patients have feedback forms given and Exeter Eye at Admiral House publishes patient reported outcomes on a quarterly basis.
At Exeter Eye all cataract surgery data is captured on an electronic patient record called Medisight and this facilitates continuous audit on outcomes such as improvement in vision and complication rates
I provide teaching material for Medical Students, Eye Doctors, Optometrists and Patients in the form of videos and powerpoint slides. There will be some video material of operations I have performed.
