The RCOphth e-Portfolio provides trainees and supervisors on the Ophthalmic Specialist Training Programme a system to record progress and facilitate assessment during training.

The RCOphth supports ophthalmologists throughout the Ophthalmic Specialist Training (OST) programme with useful resources to support learning and professional development.

Healthcare quality and safety must be paramount in all ophthalmic services and at the centre of ophthalmic clinical professional practice. Clinical governance is the system or process by which quality and safety are delivered and continuously improved.

The Royal College of Ophthalmologists represents the profession in the United Kingdom and supports overseas members, building a community across the world that can influence eye health policy and share standards, training, professional learning and development. We help build a community that shares learning and standards, putting patients at the heart of everything we do.

The College was created by Royal Charter in 1988. The Ordinances set out how we should be governed and both documents can only be changed by the Privy Council.
