Programme leader Dr Pedro Malho, a European and RCVS recognised specialist in veterinary ophthalmology, said: “The course will enable delegates to develop a greater knowledge of ocular anatomy and physiology and master the handling of ophthalmic equipment. It will also help them to interpret clinical signs confidently to make a diagnosis and select the appropriate medical or surgical treatment.”

Each module consists of nine interactive lessons supported by case studies, notes, videos, quizzes and a forum tutored by leading specialists.

Dr Malho continued: “We have prepared an innovative and in-depth course to help veterinary practitioners with an interest in ophthalmology to develop their knowledge and skills in this demanding discipline.
