Surgical Ophthalmology Workshop 2025
Have you settled for a TEF when you’d rather do a conj graft, but haven’t got the experience?
Would the chance to perform more advanced ophthalmic surgeries appeal to you? If you enjoy soft tissue surgery and you look snazzy in a pair of loupes (that’s everybody), maybe a course in surgical ophthalmology is just what you need.
This unique workshop embraces next-level surgical procedures which hover somewhere between everyday GP work and specialist ophthalmology referral.
We also think it’s the only course in Australia where you have FOUR specialist ophthalmologists onsite to help you learn new techniques, and they’re available for the whole workshop.
GET QUALITY TRAINING & PERFORM QUALITY WORK
Periocular & corneal surgery, all in one workshop
Some come to us for the surgery, some for the social vibe, and others because they want to offer a broader scope of ophthalmology services in practice. Everyone is welcome, no matter what your experience or motivation is. It’s our pleasure to make your CPD event interesting, practical, and applicable to practice right away.
Got a scalpel blade and some 8/0 suture? What about a bottle of fake tears and a tube of Tricin? Not so fast! This course offers a weekend of surgery with just little extra zing for your ophthalmology case workups. You’ll be surrounded by specialist veterinary ophthalmologists and you’ll be able to pick up new techniques and watch procedural demonstrations first hand, before you pick up the scalpel for yourself.
Even the most experienced GP vets walk away with great updates from these key sessions
