Optrafair wins approval for educational posters

Visitors to next year's Optrafair exhibition will for the first time be able to earn CET points on completion of poster trails at the show.

Exhibition organiser the Federation of Manufacturing Opticians (FMO) has announced that it has secured a total of six CET points to be awarded to visitors on completion of the dedicated poster trails within the exhibition hall. The 36 posters, with 12 per trail, will provide two CET points for dispensing, two for contact lens knowledge and two for optometry when successfully followed.

Commenting on the announcement, FMO chief executive, Malcolm Polley, said: 'This is fantastic news. At long last, Optrafair is recognised as an important educational experience. The close working relationship between the industry's professional and commercial sectors is highlighted by Optrafair drawing visitors who are keen to find new ways to enhance the level of care that they provide for patients.'
