It will focus on identifying emerging issues and showcasing examples of good practice as well as informing SCOVI’s future strategy as the umbrella agency for the visual impairment sector in Scotland.
The event will be of special interest to practitioners and managers in rehabilitation and habilitation services, funders and policy makers and third sector organisations that promote services, opportunities and rights of adults and children affected by sight loss.
Speakers will include Catriona Macintyre-Beon, Visual Impairment Clinical Specialist, Greater Glasgow and Clyde NHS, Simon Labbett, Chair of the UK Rehabilitation Workers’ Professional Network and Lisa Petrie of Blind Children UK Scotland.
