Just make sure you know the difference between orthoptics and optometry and can explain their job role to a good extent and you’ll be fine!!

Have you had any interviews yet? I really recommend using Future learns orthoptics course so that you can really understand their job role properly, it really helped me prepare for my interviews!! Also, know the definitions of the nhs core valuess
