New Moorfields Education courses coming up!

Moorfields Education is pleased to offer two brand new courses, to professionals in ophthalmology, optometry and related specialties.

The Moorfields and UCL Laser course for ophthalmologists – 6 November, London

This full day course will be delivered by Moorfields consultants and senior clinicians. It is designed to enhance both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in ophthalmic laser procedures and will ensure participants are well-prepared to deliver optimal patient care.

There will be practical workshops offering comprehensive training, using specialist laser model eyes and laser machines. You’ll have the opportunity to deliver three laser procedures: YAG laser capsulotomy, YAG peripheral iridotomy (PI), and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), all of which, meet the objectives set by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (DOPS SS14 and SS15).

Plus, formative assessments. At the end of the course, you will obtain a certificate of participation and a competency sign off pack.

Spaces are limited for this in-person course.

Myopia control in children -13 November, online

This new Myopia control in children course is aimed at both community and hospital optometrists but also relevant for doctors, ophthalmic nurses and allied health professionals who wish to learn more about myopia in children. This full day course will be delivered by a range of experts involved in research and treatment of children with myopia.

We’ll be covering myopia epidemiology, risk factors and causes, progression of myopia, current research and evidence, optical and pharmaceutical interventions, behavioural and environmental interventions, clinical assessment and monitoring, patient management and compliance, integration into optometric practice, and future innovations.
