Docet has updated its engaging course ‘Safeguarding Adults for Optometrists’ for 2022. The course is accredited at Level 2 and includes case studies relevant to optometric practice. This online resource informs you of the issues surrounding abuse in adults at risk and how to recognise and deal with issues that might arise in practice. It outlines the regulatory and ethical issues and explains how to report concerns about adults at risk you might see in the consulting room.

Each level 2 safeguarding e-learning module will take up to two hours to complete, depending on your individual learning speed, but you don’t have to complete a module all at once – you can do it section-by-section, taking the learning at your own pace.

Please note the Optical Confederation’s guidance recommends all practitioners undertake Safeguarding training at level 2 and many organisations such as the NHS also have this as a requirement. 

Once you have completed and passed the non-interactive CPD quiz, you can print your certificate.
