Training and Development

The Local Optical Committee Support Unit (LOCSU) provides training and support for members of local and regional optical committees to make sure that committees have the right mix of skills to develop and negotiate local eye pathways.

Induction Training Days for LOC/ROC Officers

Our Induction Training Days provide new officers with comprehensive information about the national, regional and local landscape in optics in addition to guidance on roles and responsibilities, governance and negotiations.  This day is also popular with experienced officers looking to update their committee on the work of LOCSU and the Optical Confederation as well as networking with colleagues from other regions.

Treasurer Training Days

Our first training day for LOC/ROC Treasurers is now available.  This 1-day programme will include information on role and responsibilities, preparing your committee accounts, LOC company model and more.  More information can be found under our events calendar.
