Dispensing opticians will be the focus of a second report on the profession by a special advisor to the government’s health select committee to be published later this month.
Nick Bosanquet (right), professor of health policy at London’s Imperial College, produced his first report on optometry earlier this year (News, February 17).
Developing a New Partnership Contract for Community Eye Care in England called for a new deal for the profession, expanding the GOS contract with improved funding, and an increase in the sight test fee to £37.
In his second report Bosanquet will discuss the dispensing profession, and it will be launched at ABDO’s London offices on June 28.
The Key Role of Dispensing Opticians will be distributed following a regular meeting of its board.
