From November 2008 a process of joint working with other optical bodies was begun by having committees run jointly with FODO and the AOP retained a few of its independent committees.
Following an initial period of joint-working all of the committees are currently reviewing their remits, but at March 2010 the committee remits were broadly as set out on the pages for each committee on the AOP website.
Four major standing committees run jointly with other optometric bodies:
Policy & Strategy
Communication and Campaigns
Education
Primary Care
Other joint committees include:
Contact Lens
Domiciliary Eyecare
Information & IT
Low Vision
AOP committees:
Hospital Optometrists
Membership
OT Management Committee
Finance Sub-Committee
Remuneration Sub-Committee
From time to time working groups and sub-committees may be formed to deal with specific projects.
