"By far the biggest benefit from my point of view is having the ability to talk with and compare ourselves with like-minded practices on a continuous basis. We do this by attending the annual One-Day Conference and the autumn round of Regional Meetings and indeed on a daily basis through the members "blog" SCDialogue."
David Samuel – Eyesite
Recognised today as the best attended business conference for independents in Europe, this one-day annual event is designed to appeal to all members of the practice team. Our line-up of top speakers, comprising both practitioners and guest speakers, is designed to stimulate ideas, challenge current practices and motivate the practice team to offer excellence in patient care. The day is also valued as a great networking opportunity and an opportunity to meet our sponsors.
The group prides itself on maintaining a free-to-attend policy for both members and non-members of Sight Care.
Our 2012 event once again took place at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hotel on Monday 27th February 2012.
Themed "Dare to be Different", the programme provided an excellent opportunity for members to gain tangible business ideas from our line-up of speakers, many of whom are successful business people from outside the world of optics. Our programme is always designed with all staff members in mind and for this reason we encourage members to close the practice for the day and come in force!

All refreshments, lunch, and delegate materials on the day were paid for by the generosity of our sponsors.
