Event report: Precision engineered education

All delegates I spoke with while attending this year’s Optometry Tomorrow Conference, organised by the College of Optometrists, were impressed by the well-organised conference held at its new venue in the birthplace of the industrial revolution. Over 680 eye care professionals attended the conference in Telford (figure 1) and enjoyed a breadth of subjects covered by the various lectures, workshops and peer discussions taking place (figure 2).

This was a fitting event for the 40th anniversary of the College of Optometrists and reflects well on how they have kept pace with the times as our profession has evolved. I highly recommend you consider attending next year’s event which will be held at the same excellent venue at a date soon to be announced.
