I am very excited that I have been appointed West Suffolk Hospital’s Eye Clinic Liaison Officer, based in the Eye Treatment Centre.I am employed by Action for blind people. I started after christmas and it is going well. The patient is referred to me for support and information after they have been diagnosed with an eye condition after seeing the consultant. I am also there to sign post people or parents to any local support groups or services that are available to them. I am going to Birmingham next week for my intense ECLO trainig course so i will keep you updated.

My Wife has recently written about her talk at West Suffolk hospital (WSH) which is a NHS trust located in the town of Bury St Edmunds. This is the main hospital where Joshua is seen and I must say the staff there have, and continue to do fantastic job with the care they provide.

I wanted to add this information to our blog and provide a link in case anyone else is wondering what hospitals have consultants that are highly experienced and work with patients diagnosed (or being diagnosed) with Nystagmus.

(I’m sure there are many other fantastic hospitals out there with skilled consultants)

There are some tests that couldn’t be carried out at WSH such as the electro diagnostics, for this we had to travel to Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridge.
