The changing face of optical education

As well as reflecting the changes in optical education, I think PAC has also influenced those changes. It encouraged other conferences to come into the market, and I suspect it is the standard against which many of those conferences measure themselves. There is a real buzz when you go to PAC, and all the practitioners are really excited, engaged and interested, which makes me very proud.

It all began with the Professional Advancement Committee, a small group of store partners with a shared interest in promoting high professional standards, helping Specsavers achieve a leading role in continuing education, and increasing awareness of this in the wider profession.
