Diploma ceremony 2022

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.

As a member of The College of Optometrists you are part of a Royal Charter body that strives for professional excellence in eye health. Your MCOptom or FCOptom affix is recognition of your professional status and commitment to delivering the highest quality patient care. Find out more about what we do.
