Vitreoretinal Disorders in Primary Care Course

Vitreoretinal Disorders in Primary Care Course

Emergency ophthalmology is an area full of pitfalls for the unwary primary care practitioner. Vitreoretinal disorders make up most emergency sight-threatening conditions, and a wide and increasingly varied range of conditions of the eye is present in primary care settings. This course is based upon the book Vitreoretinal Disorders in Primary Care. Learning will be based upon the book and regular monthly face to face sessions with the author will be provided to discuss the chapters in the book. Correct diagnosis at initial presentation, and appropriate and speedy referral, are extremely important. The medico-legal pitfalls in primary care are assessed and discussed with anonymised real-life examples of cases assessed.
