Registration for Congress is now open. Alongside a great programme covering all subspecialties, the Surgical Skills Faculty will be running four 90 minute surgical skills courses at Congress. These are in cataract complications, ocular trauma, introduction to trabeculectomy & strabismus. Each course will run twice and places are limited to 20 delegates per course so book now to avoid disappointment.
This month the BOSU is launching a new digital system that will replace the monthly yellow cards and postal questionnaires with an integrated email and online surveillance system. The first study for surveillance will be sympathetic ophthalmia run by Mr Mahi Muqit of Moorfields Eye Hospital. This is a fitting topic as SO was also one of the first ever topics back in 1997.
The College recognises the increasing interest from members to develop a more proactive and visible approach to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). We know that there are many positives to celebrate and we can continue to improve and develop more opportunities to support a fully diverse ophthalmic workforce at all career stages to succeed and thrive. We are now seeking to recruit a Consultant or senior SAS doctor Lead and a Trainee Deputy Lead.
Our policy work is developed in consultation with members and partners in the eye health sector. We aim to influence public policy to maintain high standards of care and outcomes for patients and a workforce needed to meet that care.
