United Kingdom & Éire Glaucoma Society annual conference – Southampton 9-10 October 2024
Hampshire LOC has received notification from one of our local ophthalmologists, Nishani Amerasinghe who is President of the UK & Eire Glaucoma Society regarding the conference and inviting optometrists with an interest in Glaucoma to register.
Tickets for optometrists would be under the lower pricing tier and it’s just possible that we could find a few sponsored places for those that are at the earlier stage of their career. Any such requests would be on a first come first served basis and should be directed to ukegs@glaucoma.uk
When registering, please include your registration details.
Tickets for the event are available here UKEGS Conference 2024 and further information is available from ukegs@glaucoma.uk
This year, the UKEGS conference is to be held at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton on 9 and 10 October 2024. Continuing to bring together the best knowledge, research and networking in memorable venues, our iconic structure is dockside with the assurance that some truly magnificent vessels will be on the water at that time.
