Bringing care home into focus
Explore the World of Care Homes with Us 🌿
Step into a world where every interaction is a precious opportunity to make a meaningful difference—a world of care homes, brimming with stories, experiences, and the chance to enrich lives. At OutsideClinic, we've transformed the lives of over 70,000 care home residents in 2022 alone by gifting them the essence of clearer vision and a revitalised quality of life.
With the aspiration to expand our care home team by 70%, we're on a mission to reach the hearts of more residents in need of essential eye care attention. Our goal is to bring light to their worlds, allowing them to see the beauty of life in its finest detail.
Introducing Our Two-Part Video Series 🎥
To fuel our ambitious plans and bring our message to the forefront, we're thrilled to present a series of six emotionally resonant videos, shining a spotlight on the pivotal, yet often overlooked realm of eye care in care homes. Featuring our Care Home Development Director and Optometrist, Vishal Khurana, and Dispensing Optician and Regional Manager, Emma James, these videos demystify prevalent misconceptions and unveil the advanced portable optometry equipment we employ to deliver top-notch eye care.
To foster deep connections and ensure each message is deeply resonated, we’re releasing this enriching series in two parts, with the first trio of videos unveiling every three weeks from October to December and the subsequent trio commencing January 2024. To preserve the element of surprise and anticipation, each video will be meticulously unveiled according to schedule right here on this platform. Stay tuned for each revelation!
