Allied Professions
Day |
|
On Wednesday 25th May 2011, there will also
be be an Allied Professions Day. This is being chaired by Professor Yit
Yang, Consultant Ophthalmologist at Wolverhampton & Midlands Eye
Infirmary and Ms Yvonne Needham a senior Lecturer from the University of
Hull. This day, running alongside the main Congress is for Ophthalmic Nurses,
Optometrists, Orthoptists and Imaging Technicians.
This year the allied
profession’s seminar is directed at providing not only didactic teaching
and update in ophthalmology topics but also to address the topical issues of
extended roles for Nurses, Optometrists, Orthoptists and Imaging technicians.
There will also be key speakers on NHS changes and the implications on the
Ophthalmic workforce.
There is a good line up of high quality speakers
giving talks on interesting topics ranging from neuro ophthalmology to
paediatrics, community clinics, extended roles, the NHS reforms and the
Ophthalmic workforce. These are fresh themes, not visited before in previous
years so this year’s Allied Professions’ Seminar at the Royal College
of Ophthalmologists Annual Congress 2011 should be very interesting,
informative and may even be controversial in places - don’t miss
it!
