Our packed programme of member events provides the ideal opportunity to keep up with your profession, maintain and develop your clinical and professional knowledge and skills, and gain essential interactive CPD points. We run a blended programme of both in-person and online events. The former being a great way to network with colleagues and peers and the latter as a convenient way to obtain your points from the comfort of your own home.

I've passed the OSCE but haven't yet been invited to a Diploma ceremony. The Diploma Ceremony is a unique opportunity to welcome new optometrists to the profession, and applaud the achievements of some of the most talented practitioners, researchers and academics working in eye health care today. Please visit the Diploma information page for details. If you have passed your OSCE recently you will be invited to book soon.
We have a number of sponsorship and partnership opportunities for the events the College runs throughout the year, including collaborative in-person events. If you would like to discuss any of these opportunities further, please email us at sponsorship@college-optometrists.org.
