Now in its 20th year, for Optometry Tomorrow 2024 the College is collaborating with the British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) to bring delegates an even bigger event.
2024 is the final year of the current three-year CPD cycle and the integration with BCLA Focus will provide eye care professionals with greater access to CPD, research and good practice.
It will take place at Telford International Centre on 28 and 29 April 2024.
As well as a major optical exhibition featuring around 30 companies, there will be some 110 CPD sessions over the two days, making it possible for attendees to gain all their required CPD points in this final year of the GOC cycle.
Delegates are welcome to attend sessions run by both organisations and will be able to collect an average of 15 CPD points over the weekend encompassing all four CPD domains. It will also be possible to gain contact lens optician and therapeutics specialty points.
Attendees will be able to find out more about the latest innovations in their profession and benefit from face-to-face learning and networking opportunities.
As always, there will be lots of opportunities to develop skills in clinical techniques, by attending the popular hands-on clinical workshops that form part of both the College of Optometrists and the BCLA programmes.
In fact, visitors will have no less than 27 practical workshops to choose from, 56 small group sessions, 12 peer review sessions and 10 business and communications skills sessions.
College of Optometrists Clinical Adviser, Daniel Hardiman-McCartney FCOptom MBE shares his top picks:
“It was a difficult choice, but you can see below my selection of four noteworthy sessions.”
