A brand new update to the College app has been launched today, transforming how optometrists connect, collaborate, and share knowledge. Designed specifically for eye care professionals, the updated app aims to create a community where optometrists can:

  • engage with peers
  • stay updated on industry trends
  • enhance their practice through shared expertise

"We recognised a need for a dedicated space where optometrists can easily connect and learn from each other. It’s more than just a forum; it’s a comprehensive tool that brings the optometry community together, enabling instant peer to peer conversation and support, and fostering both professional growth and innovation.”

The new community app offers a suite of features tailored to the unique needs of optometrists. These include:

  • discussion forums
  • clinical guidance
  • jobs board
  • shareable patient resources
  • and much more

The app’s launch comes at a crucial time, as the profession continues to evolve with advancements in technology and patient care. By providing a platform for members to learn, support and interact with each other, the new community app is set to become an indispensable tool for College members.

The new app is now available for download on both iOS and Android devices.
