February 2023Course enhancements
We improve the course at each iteration in response to feedback!
- We have added clinical videos to simulate the new FRCOphth OSCE format.
- Flowcharts summarising landmark clinical trials, NICE guidelines and College guidelines are produced for major diseases (i.e. diabetic macular oedema, BRVO, CRVO, myopic CNV etc). Electronic copies are sent to all participants afterwards for their review and study.
- We have integrated a summary of current DVLA driving standards.
- We have added visual field examples to both the glaucoma and neuro-ophthalmology presentations.
- Hess charts are covered in both strabismus and neuro-ophthalmology talks.
- A separate trauma presentation has been added.
- An additional presentation on “Attitudes, Ethics and Responsibilities” has been added.
- We will arrange hot food; individual lunchboxes were a temporary adjustment due to COVID. Halal and vegetarian options are provided as standard.
- We will attempt to arrange the course at least 4 weeks prior to the examination to allow candidates more time for further preparations.
