Please join us for the first in person NSW Continuing Education Weekend away since 2019! This is the perfect opportunity for orthoptists in metropolitan, rural and regional NSW to gather for an educational getaway.


NSW Continuing Education Weekend, Canberra

Highlighted sessions include a hands-on practical workshop on dry eye assessment and management and, optic nerve assessment workshop with neuro-ophthalmologist Dr Kate Reid. The educational program will also include all-time favourites: curious cases, updates on specialised testing, complex orthoptic assessments and more. This year’s program will also feature a practice manager panel to provide the opportunity to ask those tough questions we all want to know the answers to anonymously!

 

Saturday night dinner will be an Italian banquet at Agostini’s, a family run restaurant served with love.
