A taste of things to come

How do you know if a job is right for you before you apply?

Especially if it means taking a leap into a new branch of optometry that you’ve never considered before. At The Outside Clinic you can book a free, no-commitment Taster Experience to see for yourself what 21st Century domiciliary is really like. And when we say ‘experience’ we mean just that.

Technology and equipment is the biggest eye-opener for most people. On the Taster Experience, you’ll get to use a mobile version of nearly every type of instrument you would find in a high street practice. You also have a chance to go out in the field and discover what it’s like to conduct a test in someone’s home rather than a windowless practice room.
