The AIO is the only Association for Independent Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians and is a registered provider of CET. For over 50 years, we have met and learned from each other and from internationally renowned speakers at our conferences within the UK and around the world. These are arranged by our members and are held in pleasant locations, annually in the UK, and overseas at approximately 2 yearly intervals.
The conferences have included
programmes such as:
- Clinical Lectures
- Speakers on Practice Management and Finance
- Instrument Workshops
- Updates on Optico-Political Developments
Members from all over the country also find they learn almost as much from
the conversation at a lively dinner table as from the formal proceedings.
The 2012 conference is being held at Cottons Hotel & Spa in the stylish Cheshire town of Knutsford.
Four countries, three rivers and the fascinating Main Danube Canal are the basis of this memorable 12 day cruise.
Membership is open to GOC registered optometrists and dispensing opticians in
independent practice.
AIO produces regular Newsletters which include conference reports, details of forthcoming events and topical articles of interest to the Independent Practitioner. The AIO egroup is the way to keep in touch with your fellow Independent all the
year round. AIO also organises low key benchmarking surveys. But most importantly AIO gives reassurance and friendship to its membership
with the active support of the AOP.
Please contact the Secretary, Pat Cameron Davies on secretary@afio.co.uk for more details.
