This programme aims to create a collaborative environment that reflects how ophthalmic care is delivered in practice by allowing attendees to participate in supervised wet-lab practical sessions and present their oral and poster presentations. By learning side by side, students, residents and MDT professionals will gain insight into each other’s roles while developing academic confidence, procedural skills and professional networks. 

This event is designed to support early-career development by providing opportunities to present work, receive constructive feedback and build practical competence in a setting that enables meaningful interaction, hands-on learning and multidisciplinary collaboration. Additionally, this conference will conclude with a keynote presentation - 'Modern Medicine' - from Dr Rossby Awadzi, MBChB, MSc, BSc (Hons), a doctor and healthcare educator whose work spans clinical practice, research, national clinical fellowships and health innovation.
