We would like to congratulate Connan Tam for achieving the Independent Prescribing qualification.
“Independent Prescribing enables optometrists to clinically assess a patient, establish a diagnosis, determine the clinical management required and prescribe where necessary.”
“The qualification enables an optometrist to prescribe any licensed medicineā¦for conditions affecting the eye, and the tissues surrounding the eye.”
-College Of Optometrists
This now means that all of our optometrists at Burnett Hodd & Tam have Independent Prescribing status. You will notice that Caroline Hodd and Connan Tam both have the affix, DipTp(IP).
