The Body Doctor is celebrating the success of its free CPD webinars for practitioners, which have proved so popular that the company has now put them on YouTube and is extending the education initiative.
The webinar – ‘Signs before symptoms’ – was released in April with ‘Demodex: friend or foe?’ released in June.
The Yorkshire company has already worked with guest speakers such as Professor John Nolan, founder and director of the Nutrition Research Centre Ireland, for a webinar in April and provided exclusive webinars for Bayfields Opticians in April and SightCare in June.
Two more webinars are now being planned: ‘Pre-surgery dry eye management’ for September with Purvi Thomson, lead optometrist at OCL Vision, and ‘Breaking the vicious inflammation cycle’ for November.
Explaining the webinars initiative, Body Doctor sales and marketing director, Sam Wymer, said: “Here at The Body Doctor, we are keen to encourage a culture of learning and professional excellence, helping the profession to deliver the highest quality outcomes in practice.
“Thanks to our learning and development manager, Ros Mussa, we’ve been able to build a series of free CPD webinars this year and plan to build up more opportunities in the future, with a range of different speakers to empower our customers to excel in their work further.”
Contact lens optician Ros added: “As lead on education at the Body Doctor, it was clear our shared ambition in education was the bedrock to supporting clinicians to grow. Nothing really beats that trusted voice, peer-to-peer learning and the sharing of ideas from one to another, which is what we all strive for, and support, at The Body Doctor.
“Learning and development sits at the heart of what we as clinicians and business owners do on a day-to-day basis. The more we learn, the better we develop and our scope of care and patient care grows, as do our businesses.”
