A range of topics will be covered at the AGM, including leadership, career progression, and building and maintaining a professional brand in within the vision sector.
Speakers at the event will include Professor Dame Carrie MacEwen, Lydia Chang, Dr Lola Solebo and Sabrina Shah-Desai.
Women in Vision UK vice president, Dr Bethany Higgins, shared that the network, which was founded in 2017, now has more than 350 members.
