Don’t Miss This Year’s NOC!

2 August 2023

NOC 2023

 

We’re delighted to announce details of this year’s NOC including our new venue, priority booking information, and how you can build your own custom-made NOC experience.

Last year you told us the NOC was inspirational, informative, and positive and this year we want to make it even better! One word that dominated your overwhelmingly positive feedback was ‘networking’ and that is of course what the NOC is all about.

Janice Foster, LOCSU’s CEO said:

“The NOC is a not to be missed opportunity to meet your colleagues from around the country. To share great ideas and to gain valuable insight into the latest advancements within the NHS and primary eyecare.

“This year we’re building the conference around the needs of LOCs to make it more about you than ever before by giving you chance to ‘build your own’ NOC where you can focus on the development workshops and debates most relevant to you, your LOC and your practice.

“NOC 2022 was my introduction to LOCSU and I was overwhelmed by the talent and energy of the leaders in the room. I very much look forward to this year’s NOC, with even greater opportunities to collaborate propelling LOCs and LOCSU to the next level.”

NOC 2023 will be on Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th November in the breath-taking surroundings of Wyboston Lake Resort near to the market town of St Neots in Bedfordshire.

Our first day will be about Sharing, Learning and Developing as we offer you the opportunity to attend our NOC workstreams with topics including TechConnect: Bridging the digital gap; Effective LOC (LOC support & focus); Eyeing success: focussing on a better you; Visionary pathways to success: Paving the way to excellence in primary eye care; Eye on the future: Planning for a better tomorrow; and Leaders of the future: Success and Succession.

Day two will be all about collaborating, and propelling thoughts to action.

Priority booking for LOCSU fully funded LOC places are available now, with discounted early bird bookings from 1 September, and general booking from 1 October. To ensure you are part of the debate, book now. Tickets are booking fast already so ensure you do not miss out.
