Over 50 per cent of sight loss can be avoided, and yet many of us don’t know the best way to look after our eyes. National Eye Health Week aims to change that by promoting the importance of eye health and the need for regular sight tests for all.
The RNIB is hoping that you’ll help them by raising awareness of eye health amongst your staff and service users during the week. In particular, they’re asking if you could:
· Include information on eye health on your staff intranet/ in your staff newsletter; and/or
· Put National Eye Health Week leaflets and posters around your organisation; and/or
· Include information on eye health in any newsletters/ magazines etc that go out to your service users.
They can provide you with the leaflets and posters and also with the information for your newsletters, and are happy to tailor the articles to suit your particular audience. If you already work towards the Corporate Health Standard or your own health and wellbeing strategy then these activities could fit in well with your existing programme of work.
