Association of Optometrists


About the AOP

Committees - Overview

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.
