View from ABDO: Collaborative working is the way forward

As we look forward to the National Optical Conference (NOC), I am excited to be among friends from the optical sector. ABDO has advocated LOC membership to its members for quite some time and strongly encourages collaborative working with our colleagues in optometry. I, for one, am looking forward to meeting up with a large number of professional colleagues at Chesford Grange.

Not only in eye care, but little in healthcare remains the same in this ever changing world. For example, at my local GP surgery I can access a whole raft of services – the surgery now employs not just doctors and nurses, but specialist midwives, health visitors, nurse practitioners, dietitians, visiting surgeons, phlebotomist services and so much more, I can access the care I need, right on my doorstep.
