The British Contact Lens Association has introduced a new ‘Clinical Spotlight’ category of submissions for its 2011 Clinical Conference and Exhibition. Those who want to contribute their ideas have until September 24 to apply and those successful will receive discounts for the event.

In addition to the current call for clinical workshops, the Association is inviting submissions of continuing education/ professional development sessions for presentation at its conference to be held on May 26-29 at Manchester Central.

“The new Clinical Spotlight category has been developed with contact lens and eye care practitioners in mind,” said the Association’s president elect and conference programme committee member, Dr Catharine Chisholm.

“We are inviting practitioners to submit proposals on topics that are relevant to clinical practice today, providing conference delegates with valuable take-home ‘pearls’ to apply in their day-to-day practice.”

Groups or individuals are invited to submit proposals for a two-hour Clinical Spotlight session on any topic relating to contact lenses and/or the anterior eye. Proposals should comprise of one-and-a-half hours of continuing education presentations, followed by a 30-minute Q&A period.

“The deadline for submissions is September 24 2010,” confirmed a spokeswoman for the Association. “Successful applicants will receive a conference voucher worth £100 for each speaker, which can be used towards their 2011 full delegate fee.”

Optometrists are really doing well. I am not a citizen in any of the countries listed on this website but I'm happy to be in the optometry family. I am a student of optometry in Nigeria and would love to work in any of the British countries once I'm qualified. I'm proud to be an optometrist.
