Centre for Eye Health's first continuing professional development (CPD) event for optometrists sold out within days of being advertised and the waiting list is very long - suggesting strong demand for CPD about the latest in ocular imaging and the detection and management of eye disease.
One hundred and ten optometrists will attend the June 20 event, which is the first in an ongoing Series of Continuing Ophthalmic Professional Education (SCOPE) events hosted by CFEH.
Planning is already underway for further SCOPE events and optometrists who were unable to secure a place to the June 20 event will be given priority to attend future SCOPE lectures and workshops.
"It's a very pleasing response and indicates strong positive interest in our services and a healthy culture of continuing professional development among NSW/ACT optometrists. We look forward to assisting in growing the knowledge base within the profession," says Centre Director Professor Michael Kalloniatis.
The six-hour SCOPE event on June 20 will provide optometrists with an opportunity to:
- Hear prominent ophthalmologists and optometrists speak about current and emerging trends in eye disease detection and management
- Join interactive workshops on image interpretation as applied to the leading eye conditions
- Develop knowledge of the capabilities and application of advanced ocular imaging
- Earn ten CPD points
- Meet with the Centre's staff
- Learn about the benefits of referring to CFEH
- Tour the Centre's facilities
Centre for Eye Health is an initiative of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT and The University of New South Wales. CFEH aims to reduce preventable blindness within NSW and the ACT by offering state-of-the-art eye and visual system diagnostic services to everyone, in one location, at no charge.
