Best Practice Eyecare CPD Seminars
THE CPD POINTS/HOURS EARNED AT BEST PRACTICE EYECARE SEMINARS CAN BE USED TO STAY COMPLIANT
Throughout the year, Best Practice Eyecare hosts education events for optometrists on the Sunshine Coast where Ophthalmologist Dr Karpa presents information on the most up-to-date procedures and complex and interesting cases for review and discussion.
These events are free for optometrists and provide Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points from Optometry Australia. If you would like to join us for our next CPD event, please email our Practice Manager at practicemanager@bestpracticeeyecare.com.au for further details.
Our June 2022 event was held at Pier 33, Mooloolaba and was a very lively evening with 55 attendees. Topics included:
- Diabetic retinopathy using Anti-VEGF, Laser and Ozurdex
- SLT tricks of the trade and aflibercept in macular degeneration
- Blepharitis and management
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for Sunshine Coast Optometrists
In order to retain registration as an optometrist, optometrists must attain a minimum of 20 CPD hours each year. This includes:
- Minimum of 5 hours of Interactive CPD
- Maximum of 5 hours of non-clinical CPD
- An additional 20 hours of Therapeutic CPD if therapeutically endorsed.
Optometrists are also required to maintain a professional learning plan detailing their learning goals, CPD points and the CPD activities that contributed these points. These requirements apply to all registered Optometrists holding a registration with AHPRA.
