November Breakfast Briefing – Successful Innovation

Catch up with November’s Breakfast Briefing – Successful Innovation

Hear from Optos founder Douglas Anderson, as he describes why and how he led Optos to develop it’s ground breaking Retinal Scanner, the foundation of a highly successful company proud to be recognised as a leading provider of devices to eye care professionals to provide a more complete approach to patient care.

Douglas will also be joined for a short update from Optos CTO, Derek Swan, describing ‘how do you keep the pipeline of innovation running from such a strong start.’

In 2012, Douglas was the first living inductee to the Scottish Engineering Hall of Fame, and in 2016 wrote a paper for the IES Journal: The Optos story How to manage ambitious healthcare projects starting with no clinical or academic links, no staff and no money.
