Have your say on the role of Vision Rehabilitation Assistants.

Vision rehabilitation can make a significant difference to helping people live independently after sight loss. However across the UK, services are facing growing pressures with many people waiting too long for the support they need.

This cross-sector research project is exploring how services can be improved, specifically focusing on the role of Vision Rehabilitation Assistants, and how they might support specialist Vision Rehabilitation Specialists (or ROVIs).

The research team would love to hear from people with a Vision Impairment to understand if and how they think these roles could work, and what matters most in terms of this support.

By taking part in this research, you will be helping to make sure that lived experience plays a key role in shaping the future of the assistant role, and its place within vision rehabilitation support.

Don’t miss your chance to contribute. Find out more and access the survey here.

This survey closes at 12 noon on Monday 20th July.
