Hearing comments like this from our patients gives me real confidence and reassurance that we are moving in the right direction.

For more than 10 years I have listened carefully to my patients, and that is exactly why I make difficult decisions when they need to be made.

Over the last two and a half years the general standard and attitude of many employees and people in general has noticeably changed. But please be assured that I will never compromise on the quality of care we deliver.

Thankfully we no longer have individuals on our team who are not willing to give their best every single day. The many positive comments we have received recently have made a huge difference and truly show that we are on the right path.

We are not a business that focuses on volume. We are a local practice that values loyalty, and I ask people to keep that in mind when they choose to support local services.

We are not the cheapest option, and this is why I often remind patients that if they can spare a moment to leave us some feedback, it can make a real difference. It strengthens our team, supports the standards we work so hard to maintain, and reminds us why we continue to do what we do.

wardrobe check: winter coat appeal

Every year 1000’s of children go to school cold… we try and help the children less fortunate in our area by providing them with a warm winter coat, hat, gloves and scarf.
We need your help to do this… last year we gave away 2,000 coats… help us collect 2,500 coats this year!
Coats in good condition please 🙏🏼 thank you ☺️
These are our donation points 👉🏻 https://www.uniform-exchange.org/donation-points

🌟 It’s true, patients can be quick to let us know when something’s not right… but nothing makes our day more than when someone pops back in just to say thank you, especially after we’ve helped get a serious eye issue sorted. 💛

It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do.

To help avoid any delays in the NHS system, we now give every patient a copy of their referral straight away just to keep things moving smoothly so they can chase it up if needed!

We truly love all our patients… especially the ones who walk through our door with a big smile. 😄✨

Just what’s needed in this current climate!

👂✨ Ear & Hearing Health….. Made Even Easier at Selbie Opticians! ✨👂

Did you know ear wax removal is no longer a GP-led service?
In 2020, NICE guidelines:

🚫 Changed the ear syringing criteria within the NHS
🚫 Removed ear wax removal from essential NHS services

Since then, there’s been a huge demand for safe, professional ear wax removal and many audiologists simply can’t keep up!

That’s why we’re so excited to announce that Selbie Opticians will soon be offering ADDITIONAL clinics for ear and hearing health services in-store 👏

You’ll soon be able to have your ear wax removed faster, safely, gently, and professionally by the team you already know and trust 💙

👀👂 Eye care and ear care all under one roof!
Stay tuned for updates… even more exciting things are coming to Selbie Opticians!

🎆✨ Keep your eyes safe this Bonfire Night! ✨🎆

Bonfire Night is a wonderful tradition full of colour, excitement, and family fun across West Yorkshire. While you enjoy the fireworks, don’t forget to look after your eyes too 👁️💙

Here are a few simple ways to stay safe:
👓 Stand well back once fireworks are lit, at least 25 metres away.
🔥 Never look directly into fireworks or sparklers, even after they’ve gone out.
🪩 Wear protective eyewear if you’re helping to light fireworks.
🎇 Keep sparklers at arms length and always supervise children.

Wishing everyone a bright, safe, and sparkling Bonfire Night from all of us at Selbie Opticians 💙

An interesting discussion with a few fellow private practice owners and after a discussion with one patient recently they now understand why cheapest isn’t always best so yes we are more expensive than some of the multiples but as they also confirmed

1) their eyetest had to be done twice as it was wrong first time in town
2) they spent only 10 minutes in their actual eye test and couldn’t remember the outcome of the test as they felt so rushed
3) the spectacles were made up incorrectly so were remade so this took another few days
4) fortunately we have now gained a patient for life so I’m getting to a stage when I’m quite glad to be getting rid of some patients that only can spare the time to complain but cannot spare the time to praise, so for me I love my lovely patients makes it worth my while and no it’s not all about sales it’s about patients appreciating our expertise.

The Positives of Losing Unreasonable Patients
1. Protects Staff Morale
Difficult or disrespectful patients can drain energy and reduce team motivation. Releasing them allows your staff to focus on patients who value your time and expertise.
2. Creates a Better Environment
A calmer, more respectful patient base leads to smoother operations, fewer complaints, and a more positive atmosphere for both staff and patients.
3. Saves Time and Resources
Unreasonable patients often consume disproportionate time in chasing, explaining, and placating. Redirecting that effort to appreciative patients increases overall efficiency and satisfaction.
4. Strengthens Your Reputation with the Right People
A few negative reviews won’t deter good patients who read between the lines. In fact, they often highlight how professionally you handle unfair criticism — which can enhance trust among discerning patients.
5. Aligns with Your Long-Term Vision
As the industry shifts toward more private care, maintaining a loyal patient base that respects professional expertise and realistic NHS limitations is key. Losing those who don’t share that understanding helps refine your audience.
6. Encourages Constructive Feedback Only
Filtering out impulsive, one-star reviewers makes room for genuine, balanced feedback that helps your practice grow instead of distracting it with unhelpful comments.
