Lapsed and non-members can take advantage of 20% off the AOP membership fee for the rest of 2020, in order that as many optometrists as possible can access support

The discussion and networking sessions, hosted in partnership with Johnson & Johnson Vision, will help to inform the ways the AOP can support locum members

Avoiding a mini meltdown in order to adapt the AOP education programme for the virtual world has been the order of the day, explains Dr Ian Beasley

The AOP has launched an online register that enables students to list their availability for pre-reg placements

The guidance includes advice for employers and employees, as well as details of specific AOP contacts for those experiencing discrimination

Claims can now be lodged online for a Continuing Education and Training allowance

Despite government guidance, the AOP has emphasised that optometrists should still feel confident insisting patients wear masks unless they’re legally exempt

The AOP chairman has shared reassurance for members who have questions around what constitutes essential care
