Sneha Joseph
Summary
I am a dedicated, motivated, and clinically focused Pre-Registration Optometrist currently completing my training at University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire. My experience across both hospital and community settings has enabled me to develop a patient-centred approach, strong diagnostic abilities, and effective communication skills.
Through my training, I have gained hands-on experience in managing a wide range of ocular conditions, performing comprehensive eye examinations, and working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.
I am now looking to take the next step in my career as an Optometrist, where I can continue to build on my clinical foundation, deliver high-quality patient care, and grow within a supportive and progressive healthcare environment.
