Independents Day goes on tour

This year’s Independents Day was, in fact, three Independents Days.

Under a new format, the one-day masterclass for independent practitioners kicked off in Wembley last month before exhibitors, speakers and an organising team including Proven Track Record and National Eyecare Group headed north to Coventry and then Bolton.

Lectures and CET workshops this year covered topics including practice refurbishments, provision of hearing care and myopia management.

Keynote speaker Andy Clark began proceedings in London by urging independents to ask themselves a series of questions about their identity and how they planned to get more patients to walk through the practice door.
