Specsavers Edinburgh Home Visits grows audiology team to bolster vital care
THE TEAM at Specsavers Home Visits opticians and audiologists Edinburgh, which covers Edinburgh, the Lothians and the Scottish Borders, have recently strengthened its audiology services.
Four members of the optical home visits team have successfully completed training to provide them with skills to perform hearing checks when visiting customers who are unable to leave their homes.
William Allan, Kaylie Tester, Jodi McGuire and Grace Allison also join the Home Visits audiology team, bringing a total of six team members who can assist customers who are experiencing difficulty with their hearing at home or need assistance with their hearing devices.
Lynne Phillips, director at Specsavers Home Visits, says: ‘We’re thrilled to further grow our expert team and continue to provide even more vital care to people who are unable to access these services by visiting their local high street store.
‘It’s been an incredibly positive start to the year and we’re proud to be able to increase our capacity and to continue delivering a professional and important service to communities across Scotland.’
Four more members of the team are currently training to be able to also provide hearing checks, which will further bolster the service and allow more people to be able to access hearing checks and hearing device services.
Alongside checking for specific conditions, Specsavers Home Visits opticians and audiologists will also perform a number of tests to check the customers quality of vision and hearing, including eye and audiology checks that are very similar to those carried out in stores, with just with a few adjustments to make them at-home-friendly.
