Saira Jacob

My role includes daily patient encounters, managing my own clinic and performing detailed eye examinations. While doing this I ensure that I provide personalised treatment plans whilst also working within my multidisciplinary team to enhance patient care.

My role as an Optical assistant greatly helped me with improving my communication with customers but also enabled me to help make informative recommendations and handle customer queries with the correct knowledge and professionalism. Working in this job as well as being a university student had also further helped me to strengthen my understanding throughout my education.

This profession had enabled me to use my communication to help students grasp both Maths and English by adapting my approach to each individual. Especially during COVID19 , classes had become online.I had taken on responsibility to help students stay motivated and persevere through the difficult period.
