Helen Hillis, Director at Coleman Optician Hearing and Vision Centre, said: “Health and wellbeing has always been high on our agenda, but we kick started 2019 with a much more focussed approach for our staff, our practice ethos and our outreach activities in the community.
“We have seen a happy and healthy return on staff fitness, attitude and teamwork, and we have also made a really positive change by raising money through fundraising, as well as offering volunteers to a range of local charities, increased awareness on sustainability and the environment. Being recognised for these achievements by the AOP is an incredible accolade for us within the industry.
The Awards, now in its ninth year, recognises the highest levels of achievement in UK optics. The Health & Wellbeing Initiative of the Year accolade celebrates those who understand the important role that health and wellbeing can play in job satisfaction.

This year is no different – with all the winners, and indeed finalists, giving an impressive account for optometry, I wish them every success in the future.”
