It exacerbates social isolation and often has a highly negative impact on a person’s mental and physical health. For carers it can be hard to understand the impact of sight loss and how best to support someone who is partially sighted or blind.
Coventry Vision Hub is pleased to offer a two-hour Sight Loss Awareness training course for care home staff.
The course covers:
Training for up to 10 people at a time can be delivered in your setting or at Coventry Vision Hub in Earlsdon.
The cost is £300 per session.
