This is the website for the Edinburgh Foundation Course in Ophthalmology.

This course was first held in Edinburgh in January 2007, and is designed to teach the basic practical skills required by new doctors working in ophthalmology, or doctors wanting to learn basic ophthalmological examination skills.

Thanks to all those who attended the October 2009 course. We all really enjoyed the two days, and hope you found it useful as well as fun!
