Bristol Eye Hospital Retinal Team invite you to join us for a day of talks and peer review focussing on the diagnosis and management of a range of medical retinal and vitreo-retinal conditions. The day will be an opportunity to update your knowledge on the diagnosis and management of a range of commonly seen retinal conditions, build skills in recognising retinal features on retinal imaging techniques such as OCT, find out about local service provision and learn about some interesting research projects. Aimed at local community optometrists this will be a fantastic opportunity to brush up your skills, enhance your knowledge and network with friends and colleagues.7 Optometrist CET points have been applied for including 3 peer review points.

We have secured a fantastic line up of expert speakers from our consultant ophthalmologist team and retinal specialist optometrists and have a comprehensive agenda planned for the day. We are very grateful to Bayer Ltd for their support for this event.
