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 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 2012 event will be held at the Institute of Child Health
(ICH), 30 Guilford Street, London, WC1N 1EH. Because of the
necessary choice of venue required to cater for an audience of
the expected delegate numbers, we will not be asking patients to
attend for clinical demonstrations. Delegates are encouraged to
bring their own ophthalmoscopes as there will be limited time
for practical demonstrations during the course.
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.
