Hundreds of delegates from vision loss organisations across the UK attended Visionary’s flagship conference in Birmingham on September 27-28.

This year’s conference programme was designed to ‘connect, develop, and inspire’ delegates through keynote speakers, workshops and an awards night, recognising vital work undertaken in local communities.

Speakers included Louisa Wickham, NHS England’s national clinical director for eye care; Marsha de Cordova MP, who is campaigning for eye health improvements; and Sam Latif, Procter & Gamble’s first company accessibility leader.

‘Our flagship conference is an opportunity for everyone to come together to share ideas and best practice, go to workshops and listen to keynote speakers and celebrate their achievements,’ said Fiona Sandford, Visionary’s chief executive officer.
