College seeking nominations for Life and Honorary Fellowships

The College is currently seeking nominations from members for its next round of Life and Honorary Fellowships.

Through the awarding of Life and Honorary Fellowships, we recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals who have made a significant contribution to the profession of optometry or to the College.

  • Life Fellowships are awarded to members of the College in good standing, with a history of membership of the College and who have demonstrated a significant contribution to the profession of optometry or to the College.
  • Honorary Fellowships are awarded to people who are not eligible for College membership but have demonstrated clear evidence of a real and important contribution to the profession of optometry.

If you would like to nominate someone, please complete and submit the Nomination Form below. The deadline for submission is 12 noon on Friday 31 May 2024.

  • Full details of the process and criteria are set out in the College Standing Order.
  • All nominations are considered in strict confidence by the Electoral College, which meets in mid June.
  • Please remember to include details of the nominee's contribution with your nomination and a copy of their biography or CV.
  • Nominations received without sufficient evidence of the nominee's contribution may not be considered.
