BCLA Clinical Conference & Exhibition
Manchester Central | 9 - 11 June 2023
We are delighted to confirm that the BCLA Clinical Conference has been accredited for UK CPD points in a range of domains accross the programme.
Your attendance and participation at the conference will be monitored. To be eligible for CPD points, please ensure that a staff member at the lecture room doors scans your delegate badge IN at the start and OUT at the end of all sessions attended.
There may be multiple presentations delivered in one session. You will need to attend all presentations in the session to earn CPD for that session. If you leave a session early, you will forfeit the CPD point(s).
Please download the CPD summary (below) for a full breakdown of CPD accredited sessions.

All GOC registrants should download a copy of their CPD certificate(s) as per the above instructions on the BCLA conference app. GOC registrants will be required to log in to their MyCPD account to upload a copy of their certificate along with a self-reflective statement to receive the point(s). More information for GOC registrants can be found here.

Non GOC registered/oversees delegates may submit a copy to their local optical governing body where they may be able toobtain the CPD equivalent in their country of practice.
