This three month course is aimed at people who want to know more about the major blinding eye diseases and the VISION 2020 initiative. It is especially suitable for eye care professionals, ophthalmologists, optometrists, ophthalmic assistants and nurses, and project managers who want to receive training in Community Eye Health, but cannot be away from their place of work for one year.
The course consists of three main components: Controlling Blinding Eye Diseases in the five weeks before Easter; Planning a VISION 2020 Programme in the five weeks after Easter and a written strategy document to be researched and written during the Easter break.
We recommend that applicants have a qualification in health sciences and, preferably, are attached to an organisation involved in community eye care. The taught element of this course will also be attended by the MSc students in Community Eye Health.
Course fees: £5,250.
Recommended living costs £3,300
