Specsavers' Professional Advancement Committee lines up top speakers

Europe's largest one-day optical clinical conference is offering practitioners the opportunity to expand their knowledge with a flexible programme running throughout the day.

The Specsavers' Professional Advancement Committee, (PAC) which is open to all optical practitioners, will take place on Sunday October 12 2008 at the ICC in Birmingham.

As in previous years, the clinical conference will combine three parallel lecture programmes with an all-day exhibition of leading industry suppliers. New for this year will be two interactive sessions for dispensing opticians sponsored by Carl Zeiss Vision UK and Seiko Optical UK. There will also be other interactive workshops on the day, including a discussion programme and 'hands-on' case studies in dispensing and contact lenses to help delegates strengthen their decision-making skills.
