In Focus: Independent but not alone

SightCare’s annual conference was held at the Telford International Centre in Birmingham on January 27, where 284 attendees from the independent eye care sector gathered to learn and share knowledge.  

The conference held 12 breakout sessions covering a variety of topics, with many hosted by SightCare’s business coaches. This included clinical-based sessions on dry eye clinics and treating visual stress; business-led areas such as buying and selling practices and employee ownership trusts; as well as talks on retail merchandising and frame styling.

A well-rounded exhibition was available in the large hall space all day, where attendees were able to browse at will.
