View from ABDO: A state of ‘busy-ness’ surrounds us

Optics these days has changed beyond all recognition. Gone are the days when we could accurately predict busy periods and quieter times in practice. The peaks and troughs of business belong to a bygone era.

This said, a state of ‘busy-ness’ seems to surround us, and no more so than now in the hectic run up to Christmas which seems to start earlier each year. Time seems to rapidly slip past and we seem to be in a constant state of flux.

Having recently attended the National Optical Conference (NOC) I was genuinely relieved to hear that many of the Primary Eyecare Companies (PECs) were joining together to form Sustainable Transformation Partnerships (STPs) and basically join together to deliver services across wider areas to more patients.
