The U.K. Ophthalmic Pharmacists Group
The UKOPG was formed in 1994 to bring together Pharmacists involved in ophthalmic
care to discuss matters of mutual interest, to develop their knowledge of
the speciality, and to share experiences.
The group holds one day meetings in May and November at venues (usually
hospitals) around the UK, with presentations from specialists in various
fields of ophthalmology and a business meeting. We welcome Pharmacy Technicians
and others with a professional interest in ophthalmic pharmacy to the presentations.
In 1998 UKOPG developed a communication cascade for any member of the group
to obtain or offer information on ophthalmic topics. This can be an extremely
useful tool, as among the 60+ members of the group we have many hundreds
of years’ experience in ophthalmology. In 2003 the Cascade was hosted
on the ‘EyeText’ website, which will assist in developing the
database of questions and responses making it more readily accessible to
members.
UKOPG is open to UK-based Pharmacy health care professionals with an involvement
in ophthalmology and is free. Click
here to apply for membership of UKOPG and to take advantage of the Cascade
