I qualified as a DO about 10 years ago but since getting out of retail optics approx 5 years ago I let my ABDO/GOC memberships lapse.
I recently re-registered and learned that I need to get 36 CET points in the next 12 months.

The Dispensing Optics mag I get monthly gives me the opportunity to earn 2 points per issue which will leave me 12 points short.
I would be interested in recommendations for earning extra points without having to travel the country visiting events. And preferably without having to spend much more money than it already costs to be a DO.

Also, the DoH are offering a grant to OO's to help with CET related costs but are offering nothing to DO's. How much does this blow?! To me it just further devalues the profession.
