Simon Jones: A turn up for the books

It’s very rare I find myself disagreeing with the sentiment of anything in Moneo’s columns, but this week’s thoughts on optometry apprenticeships raised one eyebrow too many. 

Now, it might be sensible at this stage to turn to digest Moneo’s musings, and then come back here to pick up where you left off. I’m not too much of a prima donna to wait. 

Welcome back. As you’ll have read, Moneo touches upon commercial and retail influence within optometry, but it’s here where I believe some fundamental flaws rest. Cast your minds back to the days when the idea of an optometry apprenticeship was first suggested.
