The Royal College of Ophthalmologists, the professional body for eye doctors, is one of the youngest Medical Royal Colleges and our members manage over 8 million outpatients a year, that’s 10% of all outpatient appointments in the UK.
Our staff, College Officers, committees and members work in partnership to maintain quality standards in clinical practice, examinations, training and continued education; we also focus our resources on influencing policy decision-making at a national level. As a membership body, we develop services and benefits that add value for members, including expanding membership to other professions working in ophthalmic care.
As a leader in the eye health sector we work with high-profile organisations such as the NHS, the General Medical Council, sight loss charities and government health bodies.
We invest in our talented and hardworking staff team, we value what they say and we recognise and promote diversity and inclusivity. Staff are integral to our culture and values that underpin everything we do and how we work together.
