HEE approved Ophthalmology course code: OPHT0018

Eyehope & St Thomas’ Faculty invite you to join us at the 51st ‘Trends in Ophthalmology’ meeting, for two days of exciting discussions and presentations focusing on ophthalmic ‘Trends’ & ‘Updates’. There will also be great networking opportunities with leading experts in the field, ably supported by our exhibitors.

This in-person event will be held on Thursday 26th and Friday 27th March 2025 at the prestigious Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, Marylebone, London, W1G 0AE.

In response to delegate feedback, we have increased the number of sub-specialties represented, and have also included two new sessions on ‘Emergency Ophthalmology’ and ‘The Eye in Systemic Disease’. There will be two guest lectures, the Michael Sanders lecture on the Thursday, given by Prof Andrew Webster, and an ophthalmic research prize lecture on the Friday. The event will start with the always stimulating, Medical Eye Unit cases on Thursday morning and end on Friday afternoon with the very popular & challenging ‘Cases of the Year’ to close the meeting with a bang!

There will be a drinks reception on the Thursday evening to which all delegates & exhibitors are cordially invited.
