The 2012 Optician Awards will soon be launched. Over the coming weeks Optician will be profiling each of the awards to provide some vital tips on which category is best for you
The Technology Practice of the Year Award is once again sponsored by Grafton Optical and its Technology Partners Reichert and Optovue. This award will seek to reward the practice that can demonstrate an ability to use technology effectively. This might be for the direct clinical needs of the patient or the efficient operation of the practice. Particular emphasis on the detection of ocular conditions and provision of strong eye care should form a major theme in any entry. The judges will be looking for evidence of a range of technologies such as tonometry, perimetry, pachymetry, retinal and anterior digital imaging and corneal topography, plus links with your local hospital and ophthalmologists. This award seeks to reward a practice that has applied technology for the benefit of the patient and the promotion of the practice.
This award isn't just about having all of the kit but knowing how to use it and showing the judges how that has been achieved. ?
