Role Overview

Optegra is recruiting a Bank Specialty Doctor in Glaucoma for our eye hospital in Bradford BD10, paying up to £65 per hour. Optegra is one of the UK's leading specialist ophthalmology providers, delivering both NHS and privately funded eye care.

This Bank Glaucoma Doctor role suits a GMC-registered ophthalmologist who wants flexible, well-paid clinical sessions in a dedicated glaucoma service without the administrative load of a substantive post.

Pay and Session Information:

• Up to £65 per hour
• Bank contract, sessions booked around your availability
• Based at Optegra Eye Hospital Yorkshire, 937 Harrogate Road, Apperley Bridge, Bradford BD10
• Free on-site parking, four miles from Leeds Bradford Airport

About the Opportunity

You will work alongside the Lead Consultant for Glaucoma and a skilled multi-disciplinary team, running glaucoma consultations, assessing suitability for treatment and building management plans in line with NICE guidance and Optegra clinical policy.

This is a dedicated glaucoma service in a purpose-built eye hospital — you see glaucoma patients, with consultant support and modern diagnostic equipment, rather than fitting glaucoma around a general ophthalmology list.

Key Responsibilities

• Diagnose, assess and manage patients with established or suspected glaucoma and other ocular conditions
• Interpret diagnostic results including IOP, visual fields, OCT, fundus assessment, CCT and gonioscopy
• Build glaucoma management plans in line with NICE and Optegra clinical guidance
• Deliver treatment, including medication management, SLT and PI where appropriate
• Carry out pre-operative and post-operative consultations
• Explain treatment options, risks and benefits clearly to patients, carers and families
• Maintain accurate records on electronic patient systems
• Work with consultants, optometrists, nurses and wider clinical colleagues
• Support audit and service improvement across the glaucoma pathway
• Follow clinical governance, CQC, infection prevention and safeguarding standards

Skills and Experience Required

Essential

• Medical degree from a recognised university
• Current GMC registration with a licence to practise in the UK
• Ophthalmology experience with a focus on glaucoma management
• Gonioscopy competence
• Strong diagnostic and clinical decision-making skills
• Clear communication with patients, carers and colleagues
• Comfortable working independently and within a multi-disciplinary team
• Experience with electronic patient administration or medical record systems
