Presenter
Dr James Sterrey, Ophthalmologist
This activity supports GPs to provide evidence-based care in the recognition, assessment, and management of common ophthalmological presentations. It focuses on identifying clinical red flags and sight-threatening eye conditions, differentiating causes of red eye and visual disturbance, and implementing appropriate initial management. The activity also highlights best-practice referral pathways for urgent ophthalmic review and supports the screening, monitoring, and coordination of care for patients at risk of diabetic retinopathy.
