CPD-Accredited VI Training: First 20 Members Get Free Early AccessHi everyone,I’m Aj Ahmed, founder of the VI Confidence Academy. As a former England Blind Football captain who is completely blind, I’ve spent years helping organisations genuinely understand visual impairment—not through surface-level tick-box exercises, but through honest, practical training built from lived experience.Eye care professionals interact with visually impaired patients every day, yet traditional training rarely covers the day-to-day practicalities, communication nuances, and assistive technology barriers patients navigate outside the clinic. I designed the VI Confidence Academy to bridge that gap with clear, actionable learning you can apply directly in your practice.What the CPD Course Covers:
- Reframing Visual Impairment: Moving beyond narrow definitions to understand modern independence and lived reality.
- Effective Communication: Practical language and behaviour to eliminate awkwardness and build patient trust.
- Assistive Tech & Hidden Barriers: Everyday tech, accessibility tools, and the invisible friction patients face.
- Inclusive Environments & Practice: Setting up environments, processes, and policies that work seamlessly from the start.
- Translating Awareness to Action: Turning clinical knowledge into confident, consistent everyday practice.
