Day: 30 May 2020

Upcoming events: Pre-reg tutorials

Due to demand from our students, we will now be running more online sessions to help pre-registration students prepare for their Stage 1, Stage 2 assessments as well as OSCEs

These are ideal for all stages throughout your pre-reg year and even for final year optometry students

Handouts and NEW crib sheets will be provided after each tutorial

We provide a programme of tutorials for those who started from September 2020 (Programme A) and a re-run for those who start from January 2021 (Programme B). Our exclusive package provides great value and covers our range of courses from Stage 1 all the way up to OSCEs.

These are based on the updated 2020 College competency framework

Ocular adverse reactions to common systemic medications will also be discussed.
