Description

This module will cover the theory of common disease processes within three of the four priority high throughput sub-specialties within ophthalmology: Cataract, Glaucoma and Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The module will also consist of baseline clinical skills to allow the student to carry out basic assessment of patients using a slit lamp or direct ophthalmoscope. This module will provide an overview of several key areas within ophthalmology and some of the key disease processes. As such, this module will be particularly useful for preparing for future extended role practice and ophthalmic common clinical competency framework (OCCCF) qualification.

The module will cover:

  • External/adnexal
  • Cataracts
  • Glaucoma
  • Medical retina
  • Genetics
  • Clinical skills
