๐ The latest survey from The Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth) highlights significant improvements in cataract training within the independent sector. Trainee access has grown from 8% in 2023 to 29% in 2024, thanks to providers like SpaMedica and Newmedica expanding placements.
๐จโโ๏ธ However, gaps remain. Some providers still lack structured training programs, and placements for junior trainees need development. While most trainees rate their experience highly, ensuring more complex cases and frequent surgical lists is crucial for comprehensive learning.
๐ Collaboration between ISPs, the NHS, and policymakers is key to sustaining progress and addressing these challenges.
