DOs invited to apply

City and Islington College in London is reminding students that it is now accepting applications from those who have completed their ophthalmic dispensing studies, or qualified dispensing opticians for a place on its contact lens course.

The course runs one day per week from 9am to 7.30pm, for one academic year starting September 2008. The options are to attend on Wednesday or Thursday.

The course is designed to prepare students for the Contact Lens Certificate theory exams of ABDO, and in addition to develop basic clinical skills in contact lens fitting and use of instrumentation.

For further information, or to apply for a place, contact Tony Harknett at tharknett@candi.ac.uk or Ian Forrest at ianf@candi.ac.uk. Alternatively, phone 020 7520 7489.
