ABDO College principal moving on

Dr Rob Cubbidge

ABDO College principal, Dr Robert Cubbidge, is to move on from his current role to focus on optometry and his academic interests.

Clive Marchant, chair of ABDO College trustees, said: “I would like to thank Rob for all his efforts over the last two years – and I am sure you will join me in wishing him all the best in the next stage of his career.”

ABDO College said it would be seeking to appoint “an experienced interim principal to lead the College over the coming year, to take the lead on implementing the General Optical Council’s new education and training requirements, and the exciting next phase of educating future dispensing opticians”.

The College will then recruit a permanent successor and advertise details of the role in due course.
