ACES A Day in the Life Programme – Terms & Conditions

Your shadow placement will take place at an ACES treatment centre selected by ACES.

Placements will last a maximum of 4 hours (one clinical session) and include a demonstration and discussion workshop and a VRICS questionnaire.

All qualified Optometrists and Pre-Registration Optometrists who hold a current and valid General Optical Council (GOC) or CORU registration are entitled to participate in this programme. We will verify that you hold such a registration through regulator websites. You must bring photographic ID with you on your placement day.

Pre-reg optometrists must also present proof of degree qualification.

On completion of a full 4-hour shadowing placement, participants will receive 4 CPD points (2 CPD points for the demonstration and discussion workshop and 2 CPD points for the VRICS questionnaire). A CPD certificate will be provided. The materials might have been used in prior events. If the delegates have already completed any of these specific modules, they will not be able to claim the points again.
