Women in Optics
International Women's Day 2023 #EmbraceEquity
You can't be what you can't see.
This is the mantra of one of our inspirational women leading the way in optics. In this special, female focussed edition of the LOCSU podcast, Janice Foster (LOCSU CEO) is joined by optical professionals Farah Awan, Danielle Ellis and Simone Mason.
Together they explore how the optical sector and LOCs are ahead of the curve when it comes to women in leadership roles. We learn about the great opportunities LOCs bring, the pleasure working in primary eye care can bring, the importance of striking a work life balance and the great women who have inspired Farah, Danielle and Simone to strive for their success.
