Glaucoma Virtual Observership

Our glaucoma virtual observership - led by Rashmi Mathew - has been developed to allow you to observe consultations and sugery without the need to attend the hospital.

The observership includes recordings of nine actual clinic consultations which use different clinical scenarios and have different take home messages.

In addition, you will observe three surgical videos:

  • Trabeculectomy surgery
  • Insertion of aqueous shunt
  • Ophthalmic surgical skills - knot tying

There are approximately 8 hours of online materials to watch.

All videos were recorded in ‘surgeon’s view’ to optimise learning. Rashmi's work on virtual surgical skills training has been published and you can view it here. https://rdcu.be/cHWU1

The observership will conclude with a live Q&A webinar where you will meet with Rashmi Mathew and have the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.

Please note that this is a self-paced, virtual programme. The online materials will be available to access from a fixed date. You do NOT need to be available on that date to take part in the programme. You can apply and start the programme later in the month so long as you are sure that you will have time to watch the online materials before the Q&A webinar.

"The Glaucoma Virtual Observership served as an excellent way to get clinical experience during the pandemic. The videos clearly explained the background of each patient and allowed me to get a better understanding of the context as well as management of the patient. Being able to observe what the clinician was looking for through the slitlamp was an invaluable way for me to learn and feel engaged during the observership"
