I am:-) Finding it hard to get any work experience though, I spent 3 days with Specsavers but it's hard to write about that in my personal statement without sounding like I want to apply for optometry

Ahh thats good to hear :smile:

I know that it s hard to find experience especially observing an Orthoptic clinic! Mabye you can talk more what you have done in extracurricular eg volunteering. It can show your caring and compassionate side

heyy can anyone tell me what's the likelihood of me getting into Orthoptics with predicted grades as ABC/ACC with the A in English literature, B/C in Chemistry and C in Maths as i don't meet the full requirements of BBB. Thanks

I'm applying to Optometry as well cause Orthoptics only takes up two of my choices. But I highly doubt ill get an offer for it. :/

I'm still so stuck on my personal statement. I don't know how to relate it to Orthoptics. Have you guys done any work experience for it>?

I was wondering is it possible to do three of your choices for Optometry and two for Orthoptics

Reality Check

What are the career prospects for orthoptists? Are there enough vacancies?

I don't know whether to go to the December open day to get it out of the way or the February one so I can see what kind of thing happens at the open day, do you think they would base who gets an interview from that day? And has anyone got specific orthoptics experience? i have rang and emailed every hospital and they don't seem to offer any:-(
