Back at the end of 2017 we had a letter arrive from an audiology company asking if we would be interested in their services, a service I’d never really thought about offering our current pxs and the surrounding community. Long story short after speaking to John he put us in touch with a group very much like SightCare but full of audiologists rather than Opticians! After speaking with a member of the HearCare team we were introduced to a local independent Audiology company who had the same values as Cheryl and I have for our practice. Our clinics started in May, provisionally as a 4 weekly thing and so far, after sending out a letter to all our over 60 cx we are now booked up until July. That’s after we increased the amount of clinics, which is now 1 day (a day we haven’t got our own clinic) every 2 WEEKS.

We work on a commission basis rather than renting the room, our staff 100% back the venture, by mentioning it to our cx and the occasional Facebook post. We have had posters and window decals made by the company and are still inundated with calls asking us to book hearing tests-the majority of who don’t want to step foot in chain stores or who have been to places like these and wish they never bothered.

Independent hearing care + independent optical care (especially if you have the space) =winner.

"The SightCare Group are amazing at supporting independent practices 👌"

Bob Thomas Carter, Thomas Carter Opticians

Thank you firstly for a great SightCare conference, it has been a while since I have been and must agree that the venue and location were great. And the timing is much better than Spring, as we all seem to be busier at that time of year. SightCare is a great organisation and is invaluable to my business. Keep up the great work.”

Andy Molsom, Owner and Optometrist at Molsom & Associates

An amazing conference and we have already initiated changes in practice

Mohamed Kasmani, Feltham Eyecare

SightCareGroup has given us so much inspiration, not just clinical advice from working with other Opticians but how we can make a difference to our patients

Karen Haase, Yorkshire Eyewear

We absolutely love our newsletter, so professional and a great way to advertise our practice. We also appreciate a good quality print:)

"What a fantastic resource the knowledge hub is. I've used the PR/Social Media calendar as our template for 2018 which is great, because it gives basically a checklist of things for me to do - which is much easier."
