Event overview:

The Visiting Professor’s Day is a well-established GOSH Ophthalmology Unit tradition (dormant during the pandemic).

It is all day postgraduate educational event aimed at those working with children with ophthalmic disorders including (but not exclusive to) Ophthalmologists, Orthoptists, Optometrists, Vision Scientists and academics. It will feature presentations from the GOSH ophthalmic and vision science team as well as talks from excellent external speakers including prominent “Visiting Professors” including Susmito Biswas (Cystinosis and the eye) Jane Ashworth (Advances in the ophthalmic management of the Mucopolysccharidoses) and Patrick Watts (Ophthalmic features of NAI; new RCOphth guidance).

Learning outcomes:

There will be 4 broad themes to the day:

  • Paediatric retina including ROP/NAI
  • Ophthalmic genetics/gene therapy
  • Metabolic disease and the eye

Delegates will thus be updated on developments in each of these areas – illustrated by didactic lectures and interactive case presentations.
