Fourteen new elected appointments have been made to the Association of Optometrists’ council, who will join 20 existing councillors in designated positions and represent membership groups within the professional body.
AOP chief executive Adam Sampson said: ‘I’m delighted to be welcoming our new councillors, who join the AOP’s 34-strong council to represent different segments of the profession across the UK.
‘It is a great asset to any organisation to have such a broad range of knowledge to draw on to inform our policy work and services for members, especially in what is a hugely pivotal time for the profession.’
New councillors will begin their terms of office on June 7.
