Time:
Where: Morgans Hotel, 26 Somerset Place, Swansea, SA1 1RR
Interactive CPD points: 3
The first part of the session will be a 30-minute facilitated discussion with members asking for views on the Welsh Government’s proposed changes to optometry services provided in primary care in Wales. Chief Executive, Adam Sampson will introduce the session, providing the background to the consultation and the AOP’s role in responding to it. The session will then take members through the proposed changes step-by-step, and explore their reactions to them. The research gathered will feed into the AOP’s consultation response.
The second part of the session will involve a 60-minute peer review, led by Dr Peter Hampson, offering 3 interactive CPD points. You will be presented with three cases to discuss in small groups with your peers. By attending an AOP peer review you will be fulfilling the GOC’s peer review requirement for optometrists.
