Simon Jones: Casting the net

After more than two decades as Optician’s clinical editor, Bill Harvey will be departing the journal this summer to find a change of pace.

Having worked with Bill for well over half of that time, I can honestly say I am yet to meet anyone with the same passion for optometry and making a difference to patients through eye care and this very journal. That passion has been expressed to companies, universities and clinics the length and breadth of the UK and has led to the untimely demise of several cars and several thousand cigarettes along the way. I’m not sure Bill knows more than one pace, but everyone at Optician wishes him well in trying to find another.
