The College presents 2024 Research Excellence Awards to leading optometry researchers
The College of Optometrists presented the annual Research Excellence Awards to 2024’s winners at its prestigious annual Diploma and Awards Ceremony on 12 November, held at Central Hall in Westminster, London.
Dr Gillian Rudduck MCOptom, President of The College of Optometrists
“I would like to congratulate all this year’s Awardees. Without optometrists choosing to enter research and development, the knowledge and evidence base that underpins the discipline could not expand and strengthen.
“Advances in eye health care are increasingly important, as we face the challenges of an ageing population, the need for new optical materials that do not impact on our environment or climate, and the growing need to support our colleagues across the eye care pathways.
“Today’s awardees are among the most dedicated and talented individuals the profession has to offer, and they should all be immensely proud of what they have achieved.”
