College of Optometrists opens council applications

Applications to join the College of Optometrists’ council as a regional member are now open.

Elected council members will set out the strategic and professional direction of the college as well as have an ambassadorial role and help represent the college both nationally and within their region.

President of the College of Optometrists Dr Mary-Ann Sherratt said: ‘This is an important time for the profession and council members can help shape it, and the college’s future direction, by representing member’s views and helping to shape the college’s next three-year strategy.’

New council members will begin their term in March 2017, following the College’s AGM hosted at its annual conference Optometry Tomorrow.
