Such a great evening in the CBB, recognising and thanking five colleagues who retired from teaching in our clinics and classes over the past couple of years. Better them, they have about 150 years with us @UoMPharmaOpt Thanks to @claireEmallon for all the organisation.

👁️ The theme of #WorldOptometryDay2023 - "expanding optometry's role" - couldn’t be more relevant. Optometrists working in Opticians across our local communities are underutilised. My Bill would fix that by ensuring better commissioning to join up primary and secondary care.
