Good afternoon

We have an exciting event coming up!

Wednesday 6th December we are hosting a beyond accreditation event at our Wokingham hospital, RG41 2QJ for all Optometrists and Dispensing opticians. This will be a great way to show you the ways in which SpaMedica work, the patient’s journey, and the equipment we use in our hospital.

It would be great to see as many of you there as possible. We expect this event to be high in demand and have to limit capacity to just 30 people.

With the introduction to Rego throughout Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire; this would also be a great opportunity for you to ask myself and James (Promotions manager) any questions you may have in relation to the system and any issues you may be facing.

Please come back to me no later than Friday 1st December to secure your place and anyone else that wishes to attend. Feel free to share this invite with the rest of your team to ensure I have not missed anyone from this email.
