The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has initiated research to better understand post-diagnostic support across the sight loss sector, inviting insights from stakeholders.
Caroline Beard, RNIB’s head of strategic innovation, said: ‘Unfortunately, the reality is that too many people are not getting the post diagnostic support they need when they need it most, with some people waiting up to a year for help.
‘It’s time to look at how we can do things differently to help make the system work better for everyone.’
The RNIB was engaging professionals and partners across the sector to gather ideas and shape more effective support for people diagnosed with sight conditions.
