Bill Harvey: After the flood

I hate to sound too sycophantic, but what an excellent conference this year’s Optometry Tomorrow turned out to be last weekend.

The annual conference of the College of Optometrists has been going for the entire time I have been qualified and I remember the first, usually hotel based, events with some fondness. As the College celebrates 40 years since its formation, it was a pleasure to see how far these events have come. The combination of lectures, workshops and seminars was excellent, as was the choice of Telford International, a conference centre I never knew existed but was pleased to find so much more accommodating than the soulless wastelands of the NEC.
