Owing to Chris Hurst's inability to attend in October, we have had to change the October lecture details. We will now be asking Tim Cole of Topcon to come and talk to us about the OCT. The February lecture will be announced as soon as we have more details. I have had requests from members for certain competencies that they are finding difficult to cover and so this is your chance to let me know. We will endeavour to cover as many needed as possible. Just contact me via the form on this website. Se you on the 13th October! Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances Chris Hurst from Shamir Optical can no longer commit to the October Lecture date. Therefore, the subject and speaker will be re-arranged... details to come.
