College of Opometrists and GOC restart roadshows for freshers

The College of Optometrists and the GOC will once again deliver a series of presentations to first-year optometry students in the autumn.

The aim of the roadshows is to give new students an insight into the profession, to highlight the role of the GOC and requirements for registration and to raise the awareness of the benefits of student associate membership of the College.

The roadshows will build on presentations delivered in previous years. The College will provide students with a Fresher Pack, containing useful items, donated by the industry, such as PD rules, pen torches, memory sticks, sliding pocket magnifiers, and fact sheets.
