2014 Vision UK Conference – let’s not lose sight of the problem
Members of Kingsley Napley will be volunteering at the 2014 Vision UK Conference (the leading eye health and sight loss sector conference) on 12 June 2014 to show their support towards some of the treatment initiatives being implemented to improve overall patient referral waiting time such as the Adult UK Sight Loss Pathway.
We are committed to the campaign for the prevention of avoidable sight loss in the UK, and to assist patients who have suffered preventable sight loss (together with their families) by using awards of compensation - in cases where treatment providers have been found to be negligent - to fund the best possible rehabilitation packages (including the use of assistive technologies where recommended).
