BCLA seeks student ambassadors

A request has been made by the British Contact Lens Association for student ambassadors from each of the UK and Ireland optometric training institutions to act as advocates for the optical body.

Those eligible included optometry students in their second or third year, or those currently enrolled on a contact lens optician course.

BCLA president Brian Tompkins said: ‘Our student ambassadors play an important role. They help raise awareness with their fellow students of the range of free and discounted resources from the BCLA to help them on their way to becoming successful contact lens practitioners. Importantly they also bring a fresh perspective to the BCLA and to the industry – no-one is ever too old to learn something new.’
