Press release ABDO announces dates for the ABDO Clinical Conference

The Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO) has announced the dates for its second clinical conference. The ABDO clinical conference will take place on Sunday 6 and Monday 7 October at the ABDO National Resource Centre, Birmingham, providing two opportunities for members to attend.

This year ABDO will be running webinars, online peer reviews and journal club sessions alongside the hands-on clinical conference.

The 2024 conference themes are:

  •         paediatric dispensing
  •         myopia management
  •         acute eyecare for dispensing opticians

Last year’s sold-out myopia management conference was a huge success and the feedback from attendees was very positive.

Alex Webster, head of CPD at ABDO, says: “We are really excited to build on the success of last year’s conference and use a hybrid approach in 2024, enabling even more ABDO members to benefit from the high quality and focused education that will be on offer to support their continuing professional development.”

Booking for the conference opens on 1 July.
