Clinical conference sessions

Practical days at the NRC Birmingham, 6 and 7 October

The ABDO 2024 clinical conference will enable ABDO members to take part in four practical workshops, each accredited for 3 interactive CPD points.

Paediatric dispensing

Understanding frame fitting for children, Dr Alicia Thompson 

Utilising the ABDO paediatric model heads and a range of resources, this skills workshop will provide evidence-based paediatric facial data to enable an understanding of how children’s faces develop, and how age, ethnicity and/or special characteristics can influence the facial features that interact with spectacles.

The final touches, Dr Alicia Thompson 

This skills workshop will introduce a series of frame modifications and adjustments to enable individual paediatric patients to be suitably dispensed. The session will consider the unique requirements of patients and how frame modifications and adjustments can help achieve the perfect fit for all children.

Acute eyecare for dispensing opticians

Visual recognition test

Running across the day, you will be able to take part with your peers in a visual recognition test (VRT) with discussion, covering areas of both acute eye care and paediatric dispensing. Successful completion will enable 2 interactive CPD points.
