This is an intensive 2 day dry lab skills course for ST2 - 4 Ophthalmology trainees. The course will cover a range of clinical and surgical skills essential for senior ophthalmology registrars in both acute and routine clinical practice. Sample programme attached.
Skills covered will include:
Vitreous tap and injection of antibiotics
AC tap/ paracentesis
Corneal gluing
Corneal suturing
Lateral canthotomy
YAG and retinal laser
Trabeculectomy
Penetrating keratoplasty
Cataract surgery with adjuncts (Hooks, CTR, Toric, 3 piece IOLs etc)
Our intention is for this course to be as practical as possible on the day. Therefore, in lieu of lectures, we shall provide some pre-course reading material which we strongly recommend reviewing in order to get the most out of the course itself.
Venue:
Dates: 2025 TBC
How to book: The simulation team will send an email invitation to ST2-4 trainees when the course is open to book.
