Keeping the independent faith at iDay

Business Independents
Building for success and concentrating on detail were the two themes at the joint National Eyecare Group and Independents Day conference in Coventry earlier this month. Optician reports

A weekend of support for the independent sector was held at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry on November 5 and 6 with clinical CET, a networking dinner along with business, seminars, workshops and an exhibition.

The NEG programme was introduced by director of business development Phil Mullins. He said feedback from last year’s conference had shaped this year’s programme, Building for Success, which included clinical and business topics many in a workshop format. CET was centred around the latest progressive lenses, astigmatism and contact lenses and keratoconus. Clinical topics also included dispensing problems, OCT and ultra-widefield retinal imaging.

Business topics included combining clicks with bricks in omni-channel selling, understanding patients and charging for clinical services.
