College connects members on app update

An update to the College of Optometrists’ app aimed to connect its members for them to share knowledge and collaborate while keeping up with industry trends.

Dr Gillian Rudduck, president at the College, said: ‘We recognised a need for a dedicated space where optometrists can easily connect and learn from each other. It’s more than just a forum; it’s a comprehensive tool that brings the optometry community together, enabling instant peer to peer conversation and support, and fostering both professional growth and innovation.’

Features included discussion forums, clinical guidance, jobs board and sharable patient resources.
