More than 3,000 eye care professionals attended Specsavers’ Mini Professional Advancement Conferences (PAC), which took place online in April and at face-to-face events.
Grant Duncan, director of professional advancement at Specsavers, said: ‘The pandemic forced us to re-imagine how to deliver quality, interactive peer discussion online, with Zoom breakout rooms and facilitators. But out of challenge came opportunity and benefits to colleagues who could learn and earn their requisite CPD points from the convenience of their clinic or living room.’
He added that the flexible approach allowed practitioners to mix virtual and in-person events at their convenience.
Specsavers’ main PAC for optics and audiology will return as a face-to-face event at the ICC in Birmingham on October 16.
