BCLA Presidential Address
Date: 15 September 2010 19:00 - 20:00
Location: Royal Society of Medicine, Wimpole Street, London, W1G 0AE
Join us at the RSM to welcome the new BCLA President, Shelly Bansal, who will be presenting his Presidential Address: Safety in Numbers
The Profession generally thinks of safety in terms of infection, injury and decontamination and quite often relies on industry statistics to help make the best decision with respect to product selection and modality. Although the presentation will cover this, there will also be time spent on looking at a pro-active approach that may radically improve the manner in which clinicians interpret the statistics. It should also be borne in mind that safety and risk factors affect patients, practitioners and their practices equally. This presentation will aim to look at the various aspects of safety in contact lens practice from all three perspectives.
Approved for 1 CL CET Point
Registration is Free and open to BCLA members who are welcome to bring a guest.

The Association also offers members a series of practical hands-on workshops held both at the BCLA offices and in member practices around the UK.
BCLA events are run regularly throughout the year and give delegates great opportunties to network with other like-minded individuals and make connections within the optical industry and the profession.
