A Message from Emma Chaplin-Eye Clinic Liaison Officer

Shropshire Disability Network have received the following message from Emma Chaplin, Eye Clinic Liaison Officer:

“I would like to offer my services to any of your service users who are concerned about their vision during the COVID-19 epidemic.

My role is to offer practical and emotional support to people with a sight condition, their families and carers. I am usually based within eye clinics at the Royal Shrewsbury and Princess Royal Hospitals but am currently working remotely.

I can provide advice and information on a  range of matters including:

• living with sight loss and remaining independent
• details of latest aids and equipment
• eye conditions and treatment information
• emotional support
• the advantages of certification and registration

Anyone can self-refer, I can accept secure email referrals via e.chaplin2@nhs.net or you can contact me direct on my mobile – 07808 736449. 

Please note that I am working from home with other family members present so may not always be able to answer the phone, but if you leave a message I will call back as soon as possible.
 
Please do get in touch if you need any further information.

Kind Regards,
 
Emma
