AOP student conference gives insight into profession

Optometry students from across the country attended the annual AOP student conference in Warwick last week to gain insight into their future profession.

This year, the two-day event included a third year education program, in addition to the usual clinical and career advice aimed at first and second year students.

Lectures included a presentation on the ‘top 10 communication tips for exceptional optometrists’, delivered by optometrist and comedian Sarah Morgan.

The event also included a drinks reception and gala dinner, where Manchester University was awarded this year’s AOP Film and Television Award (AFTA).
