Eye Care & You: How the Public Facing Pathway Can Empower You

Bhavini Makwana, Campaigns and Projects Manager at the Thomas Pocklington Trust, kicks off the latest session by sharing the origins of the Pathway. She recounts how community feedback shaped this initiative, aiming to improve experiences at eye clinics and low vision appointments.
