Peer discussion at Optometry Tomorrow

Of all the educational events on the crowded spring calendar, Optometry Tomorrow is one that seems to go from strength to strength. With record attendance of just over 700 delegates, more CET points on offer and a larger trade exhibition, the 2015 conference built on the success of previous years.

Eight parallel streams of lectures, workshops, peer discussion, interactive and sponsor sessions over the two days of the conference gave rise to a constant fear of missing out. But with a little forward planning, delegates could visit the topics that interested them most and were delivered in their preferred learning formats.

A dedicated therapeutics stream on the opening day provided the IP qualified with much-needed points and a small poster display was CET-approved for the first time. This year there was also more emphasis on the College’s own resources, with moderators promoting related patient leaflets, research reports and higher qualifications after each session.
