Your practice works as a team. Your training should too.
Come together for a day of interactive online education. Across four diverse sessions, we’ll combine practice-focused learning with real-world leadership and communication skills to help boost confidence and connection, and improve patient care.
The programme is designed with the whole practice team in mind, from practice managers and business owners to optometrists, dispensing opticians and optical assistants. Covering topics such as OCT, dispensing, contact lenses and managing complaints, each session focuses on a key area of practice where stronger collaboration can make a real difference.
You and your team can join the full programme or select individual sessions that align with your specialisms and priorities. Each session is accredited with one CPD point.
