• "By far the biggest benefit from my point of view is having the ability to talk with and compare ourselves with like-minded practices on a continuous basis. We do this by attending the annual One-Day Conference and the autumn round of Regional Meetings and indeed on a daily basis through the members "blog" SCDialogue."
    David Samuel – Eyesite

  • "The regional meetings give me and my staff access to a suite of top class presentations. I feel the main benefit to them is hearing about new concepts and ideas from people outside their organisation rather than simply hearing it from the 'boss'."
  • Niall O’Kane
  • "Paul and the team are an invaluable source of support for the independent practice. Paul allows time for consultation regarding any business and marketing issues. He shares his wide experience on many topics. The on-line discussion forum from Sight Care is an excellent way of sharing information to the benefit of our customers and business."
  • Tony Plastow
  • "Sight Care frame collections are only available to members. You can dispense them with the knowledge that they are not available in any multiple. They are supplied at heavily discounted rates making them the most successful and the most profitable range we dispense."
  • Daryl Goldsmith
  • "My staff have always sung the praises of the trainers on every Sight Care course they have attended - which is essential in an industry where there are few qualifications to ensure recognition for all our staff for their achievements. I cannot think of a nicer, more efficient and dedicated team than those at Sight Care - always a pleasure to deal with!"
  • Liz - Oakwood Eyecare
  • "I would commend membership of Sight Care to ALL independent practices as a viable means of not only building their own practices, but of combating the relentless big-business approach of the larger multiples. Sight Care is unique in its aims and aspirations and deserves the support of every single independent practitioner."
  • Keith Holland

Competitive Buying

Buying Group

Our buying group offers members an opportunity to purchase goods and services from leading optical suppliers at competitive prices and in many cases the ability to qualify for over-rider discounts on volume purchases. In addition to the terms and conditions negotiated centrally on behalf of members, participating practices benefit from Sight Care managing the invoice processing and direct payment to suppliers, thereby reducing their own administrative overhead.

Membership of the buying group is optional. Members wishing to participate pay a flat rate monthly fee for this service provision.

Merchant Services and Financial Products

We have negotiated highly competitive rates with a leading high street bank for the processing of Visa/Mastercard and Switch transactions.

With no joining fee and no minimum monthly charge, this membership benefit is highly regarded. Additionally, we are able to assist members to look closely at financing issues related to the purchase of equipment and computer technology via a preferred intermediary.

Payment Plan

A guideline document gives advice on how to set up a payment plan in your practice to help you separate professional fees from dispensing profits. This pack includes practical aspects to consider, as well as templates to help you calculate charges for your professional time and promote the scheme to patients.

Group Medical Insurance

We offer members various private medical insurance and savings options through leading UK providers. Further information is available on request.
