Moorfields Ophthalmology Course

WELCOME INVITATION

Dear Colleague

Courses for general practitioners have been provided at Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (formerly Special Health Authority) for over twenty-five years. Variations on the theme have included a five day course, three day course and an occasional half day or one day sub-specialist topic teaching session.

After the overwhelming success of last year’s meeting, I am pleased to invite you to this two day course presenting a varied and comprehensive programme designed to complement undergraduate and occasional postgraduate teaching, which may have been obtained elsewhere.

The course will be relevant to GPs of varying experience – an essential guide for the less experienced GP trainee, a useful revision aid for the more experienced practitioner. It will provide a practical guide to the diagnosis and management of the conditions of the eye most commonly encountered in general practice.

Speakers are highly regarded Moorfields consultants (unless stated otherwise) with a track record of excellence in presentation. In accordance with CPD guidance all speakers have been evaluated by delegates at previous events and have received very positive feedback.

The 2010 event will be held at the Institute of Child Health, 30 Guilford Street, London, WC1N 1EH. Because of the necessary choice of venue required to cater for an audience of expected delegate numbers we will not be asking patients to attend for clinical demonstrations. Delegates are encouraged to bring their own direct ophthalmoscopes to practice on each other with limited time available for tuition by the course staff in refreshment breaks.

The inclusion of a quiz is designed to stimulate interest in the topics and provide an informal and interactive component. A prize will be awarded to the winner.

I am pleased to announce this course again and look forward to receiving critical feedback from delegates.
