Members invited to book onto August CET webinar

ABDO is inviting members to book their places for its next CET webinar in August.

Launched on 15 July, the monthly ABDO CET webinars will feature a wide range of topics across the field of ophthalmic dispensing and associated areas.

ABDO’s head of CET, Alex Webster, commented: “We are excited to be able to offer interactive CET that members can access in a new way, without having the expense and time associated with travel to and from an event. Each month, we will host a new CET-approved webinar , working with experts in their field, enabling members who complete the session to gain one interactive CET point.”

The series was launched by Professor Christine Purslow on 15 July. Professor Purslow’s career has provided her with a wide range of experiences from hospital optometry and private practice to research, lecturing and developing postgraduate education programmes. In 2013, she was appointed head of medical affairs for Thea Pharmaceuticals. In her webinar, Professor Purslow explored the link between vision and comfort and delved into the latest research to help us understand what could be happening on the ocular surface when patients complain of poor vision.

Bookings are now open for the next ABDO CET webinar on Thursday 22 August featuring Dr Michael Crossland, a specialist optometrist at Moorfields Eye Hospital, speaking about paediatric low vision cases. His webinar is entitled, ‘The child who can’t see’.

On Tuesday 17 September, Professor Mo Jalie will discuss modern spectacle lens manufacturing.

“Advanced booking for webinars essential as places are limited,” added Alex. “This can be done through the event pages on the ABDO website as each webinar is released. Upcoming topics for webinars include General Data Protection Regulations and data protection in optical practice, as well as reflective practice.”

Book a place for Dr Crossland’s webinar on 22 August here. Booking will open for Professor Jalie’s webinar soon.
