Onan uncharacteristically salubrious 5th July 2023, the date of the 75th Anniversary of the UK’s National Health Service, a regional symposium took place in Manchester, organised and chaired by myself and fellow Ophthalmic Physician Dr Amira Stylianides (Manchester Royal Eye Hospital). The meeting was entitled:
Non-infectious Uveitis: Well Known, Weird and Wonderful
Battling a Protean disease. Credit: Own photo
We invited attendees from our region in the North-West of England, and North Wales, to a session covering protean manifestations of non-infectious ocular inflammation in the eye. This gathering was a second-leg, after we hosted our inaugural session on infectious uveitis at the beautiful RCP Spine in Liverpool. Read more about this here
Uveitis Consultants
For the return fixture at UoM’s Core Technology Facility, the speakers were again all Uveitis specialists, who shared a link to the North-West of England (either through training, fellowships, consultant posts or indeed a combination). We covered realms of the unknown and hermetical in ocular inflammation, which still incorporates so much mystery within a spectrum of heterogeneous and complex diseases.
