TSC Glaucoma Fellow | Associate Fellow of The Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management (AFFMLM) | National Medical Director's Clinical Fellow 2020-21
November has been a productive and rewarding month. I had the privilege of joining the faculty for the second The Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth) Leadership Skills course, presenting at the School of Ophthalmology meeting in London, leading a workshop at the HEE Trainees Leadership course and speaking at the joint Moorfields Glaucoma and Cornea Fellows Evening. I am grateful for the continued opportunities to contribute to the professional community, and to my own personal development, all while balancing the demands of clinical practice.

Complex cataracts will be no problem for our bright trainees! Fantastic to be teaching again with Jim Innes at the upgraded ophthalmology skills lab at The Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth). We hosted the best value complex cataract course ever! Thanks to Jim and the generosity of Thea education Théa Pharma UK We simulated - CCC with different cataract/visibility - phaco - anterior vitrectomy - 3 piece IOL loading and insertion - iris hooks - Malyugin rings / CTR supported by Altomed - CTR - corneal suturing If you ever need simulation equipment advise reach out to Jim Innes the RCOphth skills lead. He has tested, printed, moulded his own designs too and even has a secret vitreous recipe. I still can’t get the recipe :) #stillrelevant #Theapharmaceutical #ophthalmiceducation #cataractsugery #surgicalsimulation Carl Wilcox for making this happen. John Emson for the additional kit.
