The Visiting Professor's Day is a well-established GOSH Ophthalmology Unit tradition.

It is an all day postgraduate educational event aimed at those working with children with ophthalmic disorders including (but not exclusive to) Ophthalmologists, Orthoptists, Optometrists, Vision Scientists and academics. It will feature presentations from the GOSH ophthalmic and vision science team as well as talks from excellent external speakers including prominent "Visiting Professors" including Professor Frank Larkin (Neurotrophic Keratopathy in childhood), Mr Anthony Vivian (management of strabismus), Professor Helen Davis (academic orthoptics), Professor Chris Hammond (ophthalmic features of Neurofibromatosis) and Professor Darren Hargrave (oncological management of visual pathway gliomas).

  • Paediatric anterior segment and inflammatory eye disease
  • Diagnostic clinical conundrums – the role of the MDT
