Meet our fabulous little patient Leonard trying on his new specs! 🥰 Leonard had congenital #cataract surgery with us at only a couple of months old, and is now able to see and smile at the world around him! 👏 Hit play on the video below for an instant serotonin boost! ⬇️💙

#FeelGoodFriday | Little Leonard was born with congenital cataracts, a condition where the natural lens of the eye becomes cloudy 👁️ This can cause severe visual impairment and can even cause permanent vision loss.

Attended a ROP education day in Northampton today hosted by CK Patel and Katy Powis It was a specialised meeting on ROP related topics with some practitioners around the country. I particularly liked how fast the Northampton ROP team have developed their nurse-led screening team from scratch - essentially moving from a standing start after their ophthalmologist retired a few years ago to now a full blown Optos powered ROP round. Some good science and cases shared, and we also got to hear from a family who went through screening and treatment which was quite unique. The best part was chatting to colleagues and hearing about the strengths and weaknesses of their own ROP service - highlighting similar issues that we all face in this resource-tight climate.

Team meeting this morning. This is a productive time where we reflect and plan to build improvements in patient care and experience, as well as developing our clinical practice.

Proud to see this milestone @AHOphthalmology @AlderHey led by Judith Gray! Finalising the pathway of failed school screeners --> community optometrists * earlier management of refractive errors * more refined triaging * freeing up hospital resources * better exp for families

I participated in the uveitis clinic today! Here's us with Jill our rheumatology nurse who joins us during these clinics. Having multiple specialties seeing patients at the same time leads to quicker decision-making. Do you agree? #teamwork @AHOphthalmology
