View from the AIO: It's conference time

It’s all happening in Cambridge on October 1 and 2. For quite some time AIO has been working on offering enhanced benefits to its members that range from new insurance products, to helping people into and out of independent practice, and providing a public facing quality mark that would help to differentiate the sector.

In addition, the association has long laboured over the definition of independent and has come to a final position which is both positive and inclusive.

There are three new insurance products being launched in Cambridge including a new practice-based PI product that takes away the need for individual optoms and DOs to have their own PI. There are also new general insurance and income protection insurance policies tailored for AIO members.
