We have a new slit lamp TV in our clinic room!
Last year, I noticed that during maternity sonographer sessions, parents would be allowed to visualise the live ultrasound that was taking place. This was usually displayed on a TV in the room.
Why not do the same for eyes? This is a beautiful way to deliver patient education and not to mention a much easier way to teach students observing in clinic!
If you're a medical student would you find this useful, and if you were a parent or a patient would this be helpful for you?
Also..Don't waste old tech!
Millions of pounds are wasted daily when we get rid of perfectly functioning equipment. This is particularly prevalent in the NHS. Let's learn to repurpose old tech where possible.
In this setup the microrec and ipod were graciously sponsored by the education fund but the AppleTv was donated by Ian, our lead optom and the TV was an old one from our meeting room that was going to be discarded.
