How to publish and present research

With more and more optometry schools opening in the UK, the topic of this year’s IACLE/BUCCLE Education Day could not have been better. Organised jointly by the International Association of Contact Lens Educators (IACLE) and British & Irish College & University Contact Lens Educators (BUCCLE), Education Day was held in Manchester to precede the British Contact Lens Association Clinical Conference (May 30 to June 1).

The programme of lectures and discussion – compiled by Judith Morris, IACLE regional president for Europe/Africa-Middle East – attracted 80 members and guests to the University of Manchester’s Chancellors Conference Centre. Delegates ranged from senior academics to postgraduate students, from UK institutions and overseas.
