Hospital optometry peer discussion (non-IP) - online

Peer discussion is a great way to share ideas and reflect on different approaches. You will be presented with a minimum of three cases to discuss in small groups with your peers.

Delegates will benefit from: 

• Hearing different approaches to managing clinical situations from their peers

This peer discussion is for non-IP hospital optometrists only. You will be asked to identify which trust you work for during the booking process.
