Ophthalmology Conference: The Eye in Systemic Disease

Overview

13.30 - 18.30 GMT

Join us for our inaugural Ophthalmology Conference where we will discuss and further our understanding of the eye in systemic disease.  This one-day event will feature specialists in a wide scope of fields including ophthalmologists, neurologists, physicians and paediatricians.  

Offering the opportunity for interdisciplinary discussion and learning, topics on the day will include giant cell arteritis, multiple sclerosis, orbital infections and orbital trauma. This event will be of interest to both ophthalmologists and non-ophthalmologists, as well as those in paediatrics, rheumatology, neurology, maxilla-facial, ENT and general medicine.  

We look forward to welcoming you to what will be an interesting and instructive day.
