In 2021 we’ll organize a monthly webinar. Every webinar we’ll focus on a different subject and the webinars are hosted by one of our members. Below you’ll find an overview of the dates on which the webinars will take place.

Patient Catered Design
“Moorfields Education has designed six educational experiences to empower patients living with AMD, glaucoma and uveitis. They have been developed using patient catered design, where input from patients has been included from beginning to end. Three advisory boards consisting of medical and non medical staff were set up to create and peer review the material made. This content was then designed to be accessible and interactive by educational professionals.”
Marcus Pedersen is the learning technologist for Moorfields Eye Hospital and has overseen the development of this project.

Infectious Scleritis: Difficulties in Diagnosis and Management, with Dr. Somasheila Murthy
Sunday, January 31 2021: 09:30 UTC
Scleritis is a rare but grave inflammatory disorder. Although a majority of these cases are immune mediated, a smaller minority are due to infections of the sclera. The two conditions closely mimic each other, and knowledge of the differences aids in rapid diagnosis. If untreated these cases often have poor outcomes, both due to tissue destruction and also due to propagation of the infection with corticosteroids which may have been started for presumed immune mediated scleritis. In this webinar, we present the clinical features, etiological agents, and the differentiating features between immune and infectious scleritis. We also present diagnostic and management guidelines for managing scleral infection.
