The Young Ophthalmologists Programme (YOP) is a new UKISCRS initiative, established in response to feedback from UKISCRS members. YOP aims to target and represent the needs of ophthalmic specialty trainees and consultant ophthalmic surgeons in their first three years of clinical practice.

YOP at UKISCRS meetings:
Folllowing continued success at the UKISCRS Annual Meetings, a
section of the meeting in Brighton 2012 is devoted to the needs of
Young Ophthalmologists. In developing the YOP programme, we have aimed to explore and build on core surgical principles and techniques,
and to consolidate your existing skills and knowledge. These sessions
will complement the innovative and cutting-edge sessions for which the UKISCRS Annual Meeting is already known.
