Dr Thompson, who also serves as RANZCO\u2019s censor-in-chief, overseeing postgraduate ophthalmology education and training standards across New Zealand and Australia, said he was equally enthusiastic about the move. \u201cIt is a fantastic, modern clinic environment with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. I am fortunate to be working with a dedicated, talented, professional and fun support team. Hopefully, we won\u2019t all get distracted too often by the view!\u201d<\/p>\n
The clinic offers cataract surgery, glaucoma management, medical retina services, oculoplastic procedures, acute eyecare and general ophthalmology, as well as refractive lens exchange and treatment of ACC-related eye conditions and injuries. Drs Botha and Thompson will also be supported by Eye Institute’s wider clinical network, said Dr Mantell. \u201cOur focus is on delivering high-quality, patient-centred care, supported by clear communication and collaborative co-management with referring practitioners\u2026 We are committed to providing timely assessments, comprehensive reporting and a responsive referral experience for both patients and practitioners.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hamilton opening brings Eye Institute’s nationwide network to nine clinics, joining its existing locations in Auckland, Hawke’s Bay, Wellington, Blenheim and Dunedin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dr Thompson, who also serves as RANZCO\u2019s censor-in-chief, overseeing postgraduate ophthalmology education and training standards across New Zealand…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":625346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[26407,235661,211502,168819,111,43,139,69,235664,235662,3532,235663,114505],"class_list":["post-625345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-clinical-research","tag-dispensing-optician","tag-eye-care","tag-eyewear","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-nz-optics","tag-ophthalmic","tag-ophthalmology","tag-optometrist","tag-optometry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
