Lauren Blackshaw is a nurse both general and paediatric with specialist ophthalmic training. She has been working at Moorfields for 14 years, and was promoted to A&E Charge nurse in 2016. The Paediatric Ophthalmic A&E service was built up from basics in 2007 and one of our objectives is to find innovative ways to keep developing the staff in ophthalmic triage and assessment, and to develop a role for paediatric Ophthalmic nurse practitioners as the first step to developing specialist roles in our paediatric service. Prior to joining Moorfields, Lauren was an oncology nurse in New Zealand, Australia and UK.
