We are delighted to announce that Optometry Tomorrow 2020 will take place on 23 - 24 February 2020 at the Telford International Centre.
Optometry Tomorrow is the College’s annual conference, AGM and exhibition. It is one of the UK’s leading optometric events and a must-attend occasion for all optometrists. View photos and download presentation slides from past events.
Central Hall Westminster is the perfect backdrop for our annual Diploma Ceremony, where we 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.
My favourite benefit would be the free regional events. It would be difficult to find other events where they have such notable speakers and hold such in-depth peer review sessions where the facilitators really challenge you.
Interesting lecture, facilitator was very good and case studies were well thought out.
Delegate, Northern Ireland Regional Event
I have never done a peer review before and having been on a career break and out of practice for 8 years, I was quite apprehensive about the discussion. However, I felt very well accepted and really enjoyed the discussions, I feel a lot more confident now.
Delegate, East Midlands Regional Event
Webinars are a great way to refresh knowledge and I finish feeling it was worth my time in doing.
