Peer discussion, London

When:

Time:

Where: 2 Woodbridge Street, London, EC1R 0DG

Interactive CET points approved: 3

Peer discussion is a great way to share ideas and reflect on different approaches. You will be presented with a range of cases, clinical scenarios and ethical dilemmas to discuss in small groups with your peers.

Delegates will benefit from

  • Hearing different approaches to managing clinical situations from their peers
  • Understanding appropriate referral and management pathways
  • Recognising the importance of reflection on current and future practice

By attending one of the AOP Peer Discussions you will be fulfilling the GOC Peer Review requirement for Optometrists. These events do not cover the requirement for contact lens opticians or therapeutic specialist optometrists.

Please note that all the peer discussions in 2020 will cover the same cases and therefore points will only be awarded once.

Rakhee Shah, Council member

I am an optometrist and split my time between academia (City, University of London), research and working in independent practice. In practice, I enjoy myopia and dry eye management. My research interests include evidence-based optometry, clinical optometry, clinical decision making, professional practice, glaucoma and dementia. Advances in technology and forecasted changes in education will have an impact on the scope of optometric practice. Raising awareness of the role of optometrists, with appropriate funding for clinical services, is the ongoing challenge.
