CET event programme 2019 Opportunities to enhance your skills
ABDO’s prime objective is to provide members with up to date, engaging and relevant interactive CET at accessible event locations and venues throughout the UK. But it’s not just about CET. Events provide a valuable opportunity to engage with your association and to network with peers and industry partners. The new programme will also introduce continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities. Whilst still offering CET where applicable, CPD events will provide focussed learning and development in a specific scope of practice area for dispensing opticians and contact lens opticians. They will also provide an opportunity to find out more about pathways to formally further your education.
