This is an essential annual webinar for all those involved in diabetic eye screening that provides insight into current and future changes within the specialty.
There will be key updates direct from the National Programme Team with an opportunity to question them directly. Join us for expert insight into best-shared practices which will enable all attendees to implement changes to their own programmes to benefit patients - particularly those in marginalised and diverse populations.
Our keynote speakers are world authorities who will provide expert insight on the psychosocial aspects of diabetes and explain how to overcome the challenges associated with the management of diabetes.
During this webinar delegates will:
- Achieve better uptake engagement and understanding about the psychosocial aspects of diabetes in reaching our most challenging populations.
- Identify any gaps in knowledge and develop areas for growth.
- Develop new skills or increased expertise in the management of an individual with diabetic eye disease.
20 x bursary places (x10 student and x10 trainee places) are available for this meeting. Please send your request to ophthalmology@rsm.ac.uk
