View from ABDO: Come to our consultation day

While many people are thinking of holidays this month, as I write this on a sunny evening in Godmersham the ABDO board elections are taking place. I am delighted to say we have 10 excellent candidates standing for election and six are female which is a true representation of our membership.

It is wonderful to see greater engagement of ABDO members with the association over recent years. We changed our area structure to seven regions and recruited leads and sub leads to head the regions two years ago, with teams of members engaged at local level. Ninety-five percent of LOCs now have dispensing opticians on their committees, and our teams continue to host our many successful CET events around the country.
