Student/ Foundation Doctors Ophthalmology Review Day (SORD/ FORD) Glasgow

The Royal College of Ophthalmologists will run two Student/ Foundation Doctors Review Days in 2026. 19 June 2026 in Birmingham and 2 October 2026 in Glasgow. The content is the same for both days so you only need to book one day. RCOphth Associate members - £55 including lunch. Non members £105. This event will cover clinical knowledge and skills at a level appropriate for medical students in their clinical years and foundation doctors interested in pursuing ophthalmology. It’s a refresher course intended for medical students and foundation doctors who want to cover the essential ophthalmology knowledge and core skills in a day. By the end of the day attendees should be able to safely assess patients presenting with an ophthalmic problem and make an appropriate management or referral decision.

Faculty: Prof. Michael Williams and Prof. Sarita Jacob
