NHSBSA offers DOs free CPD

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) is offering dispensing opticians (DOs) in England one free point towards their continuous professional development (CPD).

The NHSBSA has been delivering CPD events since May 2022.

Now, due to demand, the NHSBSA is advertising three new dates:

  • Tuesday 20 December 2022 at 7pm
  • Monday 9 January 2023 at 7pm
  • Tuesday 17 January 2023 at 7pm

Each session is run by the NHSBSA’s clinical advisors and will provide one CPD point under the Leadership and Accountability domain.

The content of the sessions will cover the appropriate use of re-test codes and the frequency of sight test recalls.

The clinical advisors, who support the NHSBSA’s Provider Assurance service, will use specific case studies during the event to demonstrate appropriate claiming across different patient circumstances.

DOs can sign up to the events online. Each event will last one hour.
