Update!
Unfortunately due to some scheduling issues we have had to swap the intended February lecture title with the October Title. This will be different to the printed material sent in the post. The dates are the same but the titles have swapped. Just to confirm with everybody, this is the currently confirmed schedule: Mon 21st Sept - LVA update Mon 12th Oct - Myopia Control (Change to flyer) Mon 9th Nov - Refractive Surgery Mon 11th Jan - Peer Review GOS use Mon 8th Feb - Falls (Change to flyer) Mon 14th Mar - New lens designs Venue: Samlesbury Hotel Start Time: Buffet from 6.45/7.00 Talk to begin approx 7.30 If you have recently received an marketing email from us you may have noticed that the dates are a little muddled on this as well. Please accept my apologies for this mistake! Many thanks Drew Membership Secretary
Here's a quick look at the new season of lectures for 2015/16. These have been confirmed but the titles and details have yet to be ironed out!
Monday 21st September 2015 Professor David Elliot - Bradford University Falls and the Role of Spectacle Prescriptions Monday 12th October 2015 Galloways Low Vision Lecture LVA's "Not Just a Magnifier" Monday 9th November 2015 Mr Imran Rahman - Blackpool Victoria Hospital Refractive correction - Laser, Lenses & the Holy Grail Monday 11th January 2015 Mr Trevor Warburton Peer Review session (Correct use of GOS???) - TBC Monday 8th February 2015 Professor Edward Mallen - Bradford University Current thinking on Myopia Control Monday 14th March 2015 Andy Sanders - Hoya Ltd Lens Designs for Contemporary Lives ALL lectures will carry 1CET point for Optometrists and we are working hard to guarantee at least three of the lectures will carry points for Dispensing Opticians, hopefully they will all carry DO points! The January Peer Review session will carry 3 CET points. We are currently beavering away to make the LOS 2015-16 lecture programme better than ever, Watch this space for news, the list will be published as soon as it is finalised.
In the meantime please feel free to let us know if you have any ideas or requirements for your future CET. Check out Septembers Lecture notes now on the website... click here!
We have now arranged for a new speaker to cover the February session slot (previously allocated to last months talk on OCT). Mt BArry Duncan of ABDO fame has kindly stepped into the void to talk about Paediatric Dispensing. This talk will obviously have CET points available for DO's as well as OO's. What's more Barry has suggested that he extends the talk into a a more formal Workshop format. This means that the session will be longer taking 2 hours to complete, the benefit being that 4 CET points will be valid instead of the usual 1. The committee all believes that this is a good opportunity but before organising this we have decided to garner membership opinion. Please can fill out the survey form here to help us organise this event! The closing date for this form will be Friday 7th November. Many thanks Drew Membership Secretary |
