We're celebrating our volunteers this
#InternationalVolunteerDay!
Our 350 volunteers work at Moorfields sites across London, doing everything from directing and guiding patients to accompanying anxious patients during procedures. We're incredibly proud of them.
Our team enjoyed meeting attendees at the @StargardtsC conference over the weekend.
Stargardt’s disease affects the retina – primarily the central retina that provides detailed vision, colour vision, recognising faces and reading vision.
If you want more ways to keep up with our work, we're now on bluesky!
