Free Online CPD events for HNY Optometry colleagues
Shared on behalf of NHSE
Humber & North Yorkshire Eyecare – Continuing Professional Development – SPRINT Events 24/25
Humber and North Yorkshire (HNY) Integrated Care System (ICS) is hosting a series of free, online, interactive Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions for the local optometry community. Each 1.5hr session consists of a presentation delivered by a local specialist, followed by time for discussion. The sessions are CPD accredited.
The HNY ICB footprint covers 7 Ophthalmology Trust sites as well as multiple Independent Sector Providers. The Optometry profession are the primary care specialists that refer the majority of referrals either directly or indirectly (via GP) to these sites.
As part of the Eye Care Collaboration with Optometry and Ophthalmology we are delivering the sessions to:
- support and inform the local eyecare workforce
- foster relationships between local practitioners, Local Optical Committees and secondary care.
- provide better eyecare for all.
Session 2: Thursday 26th September, 7:30pm – 9:00pm
