The Royal College of Ophthalmologists has published guidance that gives non-medical healthcare professionals the go ahead to treat patients with macular disease, under supervision and with the appropriate training. We hear from Sobha Sivaprasad of the RCO, about why it's taken this decision. Cathy Yelf from the Macular Society gives their reaction. We also speak to Mike Starling from National Public Radio in the US, who has headed up a project for providing captioning for radio output. This means that DeafBlind people could access radio output that is delivered to an electronic braille display. We explore the idea and ask whether it has a future here in the UK, with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s technical controller for radio.
