The Central Fund collaborated with Inspiring Success to provide CPD accredited Wellbeing Workshops for LOCs to support their local practice workforce.
The Central Fund recognise the value of providing wellbeing support for LOCs and the importance of the topic across the optical sector. The project scope was viewed as highly beneficial, potentially positively impacting contractors, performers, dispensing opticians and wider practice teams – delivering value across the whole sector.
After a successful Wellbeing CPD pilot an initial grant was awarded to enable the development of the infrastructure to deliver the project at scale. This included the research and writing of high quality CPD material and supporting resources.
Subsequently, The Central Fund offered all LOCs a one off grant to cover the cost of their initial accredited Wellbeing event provided by Inspiring Success. A total of 43 LOCs throughout England took advantage of the opportunity.
The project has achieved its objectives, delivering engaging and meaningful wellbeing workshops across England. Consistently high feedback scores from LOCs demonstrates its success. The project has also been recognised through several industry awards for this work, highlighting its positive impact on the sector.
