Candidates should be willing to undertake further training, follow NHS procedures, maintain equipment standards and work flexibly as part of a multidisciplinary ophthalmology team.

The United Kingdom offers employment opportunities across healthcare, technology, engineering, finance, education, retail and professional services. NHS roles are available throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, although competition and living costs vary by region.
