AOP meets in Cardiff

The Association of Optometrists held its annual general meeting in Cardiff this week with communication matters high on the agenda.

With the General Ophthalmic Services review imminent, and changes to the profession's regulations through the Section 60 order, the AOP is gearing up to extend its information resources.

In his annual report chairman Don Grocott praised the way the GOC had brought the extension of prescribing rights, and commented that the success of the Association in the Nicole Threlfall case was particularly pleasing.
