Kicking off 2024, Macular Degeneration New Zealand’s (MDNZ’s) Professional Friends programme is returning, inviting optometrists and ophthalmologists to join the charity to support patients with macular degeneration and those at risk of developing the disease.
After a Covid-enforced hiatus, MDNZ is proud to again be offering this important programme, said Sarah Berman, MDNZ general manager. MDNZ recently completed a programme review, including a members’ survey, she said. “Raising awareness and supporting patients with macular degeneration is important to our members. They also told us they are keen to share with others that they support MDNZ’s work and rate the Professional Friends’ listing on the MDNZ website as very important.”
The Professional Friends programme is accessed through an annual individual or practice subscription with each professional friend being acknowledged on MDNZ’s website, in its newsletters and on social media. Professional friends can receive patient resources free of courier charges.
