Award for Spalding opticians

Spalding opticians Molsom & Associates are celebrating after winning the inaugural National Sight Care Awards 'Moment Of The Year'.

The Hall Place team were nominated after their efforts to help raise awareness of a life-threatening eye condition after optometrist Ian Price recognised it in a patient.

The awards took place at the SightCare Business and Networking Conference in Telford.

Six of the team from Molsom & Associates attended the Conference. Practice owner and optometrist Andrew Molsom said: “We are really proud to be presented with this award, it rewards everyone in the team for their great efforts helping to deliver great eyecare to the Spalding area.

"The 'Moment of the Year' was our recent story shared by our lovely patient Georgina Harrison. Ian Price originally recognised the life threatening condition, but he couldn’t do the job he does without the support and dedication of the whole team.

"We highlighted the story originally to help raise awareness of the importance of regular eye examinations and to share Georgina’s support received from the charity OcuMel UK. We never expected this wonderful award.

"I would also reinforce that with National Eye Health Week this week, please ensure you and your loved ones have regular eye examinations as we identify more than just whether you need spectacles.

"I would also like to thank Georgina for allowing us to share her experience. Hopefully after reading her story it will have encouraged the wider community for the need of regular eye examinations.

"So if you are in town, why not pop in and congratulate the team on their first class efforts?”
