LOC Events For 2025

16 February 2025

Hi all!

Below is the list of CPD events for 2025 so far.

Thursday 27th March Mr Philip Alexander – Disorders of the Vitreomacular Interface

Thursday 5th June Mr Simon Woodruff – Functional and Aesthetic Eyelid surgery – a guide for primary care

Thursday 18th September Mr Liam Sullivan – Fluid at the macular and related OCT

October Ms Shahid date and subject tbc however I imagine it will be Glaucoma related.

November OCCS 3point peer review. Date tbc

All the above will be delivered face to face following a buffet. Location and timings will be confirmed but will probably at The Spire Hospital Impington with the exception of the OCCS event. Lectures probably starting at 7pm with food served from 6.30.

Don’t forget the Addenbrookes cataract accreditation event on Thursday 10th April. I’m sure that there will be details sent out for this nearer the time.

Kind Regards

John
