The BCLA student ambassador scheme was introduced in 2015, but has largely been placed in hibernation over the past two years due to the pandemic. With Covid-19 now less prevalent, the BCLA is renewing the programme as part of a wider drive to engage with students.

‘It was difficult to maintain the student ambassador scheme during the pandemic with the switch to virtual learning for a certain amount of time at the universities, programme starts and finishes, and timing slipping,’ says Luke Stevens-Burt, chief executive at BCLA. ‘With the optometry courses returning to normal, and a new BCLA council settling in, this is a brilliant opportunity for us to relaunch and revitalise the scheme.’
