“Best ophthalmology conference I have been to because it was tailored to juniors and contained useful info, was not too long, good location as well.”
“Absolutely loved the day, affirmed my motivation to pursue ophthalmology. The workshop was also the first time ever that I've gained practical experience in micro-suturing.”
“The workshop was a great addition which other conferences don't normally offer.”
“Overall, the day has been inspiring and motivating, making the prospect of applying for ophthalmology slightly less daunting.”
“The conference was extremely useful as a medical student trying to get ahead in my application to ophthalmology and to understand if this is the right specialty for me.”
“I'm very happy that we got to do all three workshops. Many conferences only assign one per person.”
“The speakers were all very inspiring and it was great to see that they were all very passionate about their careers.”
“There was a great variety of speakers present, which allowed me to get an in-depth overview of all the different subspecialties, and each talk was very different, which kept it very engaging.”
“Workshop was amazing, could spend a whole day. Love the suturing workshops specifically.”
“Really good speakers, enjoyed the panel sessions and the portfolio talk was the highlight.”
“Great spread of specialties to allow a broader perspective. Targeted talks to the pre-training audience.”
“It was very useful, very closely supervised. Definitely improved my skill.”
“Great organised event with good talks that were very informative and insightful. Allows me to feel more confident in how to approach the speciality.”
“I really liked the charity talk – talks outside of the ophthalmology specialties are super interesting! Great conference and I am so happy I went.”
“Great, varied conference, ran smoothly. Good value, nice that lunch was included.”
“Liked the opportunities to speak to clinicians and sponsors during breaks. Thank you for running a great event!”
“Really nice design and presentations. Quite accessible, nothing flying over my head.”
“It was very informative. A good platform to present posters and oral presentations.”
“Great talks, passionate speakers.”
“Fantastic tutorials and workshop skills.”
“Very welcoming and informative.”
