WOPEC Paediatric module

18.11.2018

The refreshed WOPEC Paediatric module is now live. Please see the information below from WOPEC.

Any practitioner who is providing children's community screening services via Primary Eyecare Services who has not completed a WOPEC paediatric module must register with WOPEC and complete the module by 31/01/2019. Please note that if you have completed the previous module you are not required to retake the new module.

We have been listening to feedback from optometrists and dispensing opticians and have made the following improvements to the LOCSU Paediatrics course.

All content has now been peer reviewed and updated.
Lectures have been redesigned and updated and some have been placed into a new delivery format.
Some areas remain the same – objectives, competencies and CET point allocation have not changed as everyone seemed happy with this area.
New lectures are automatically accessible on the dashboards and it is possible to re-watch/review all the lectures.
Promo codes have not changed so any unused promo codes and incomplete lectures can still be completed.

To date around 480 of you have signed up to the LOCSU paediatric course and around 260 of you have already completed it. Well done!
