How Optometry Practice works in SkillScorer
Score
Each team member in a practice is scored on the Optometry Practice skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank team members, compare two side by side, or compare your practices against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Optometry Practice skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior optometrist's practice.

Every team member is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one practice and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Optometry Practice?
Optometry Practice starts with these levels (called “Career Stage” in the app): Graduate Optometrist, Optometrist, Senior Optometrist, Clinical Lead and Practice Principal. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Optometry Practice skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In optical & optometry the app talks about team members, practices and senior optometrists, and you can change any of those words too.
