Eye-Site is an elearning resource for ophthalmologists and is delivered by the Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth) in partnership with Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh).
The elearning programme is intended to complement and support existing teaching initiatives rather than replace them. Eye-Site includes interactive knowledge sessions, for use independently, or by blending elearning content with local, regional or national delivery of skills-focused courses.
Content is mapped to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists’ curriculum for postgraduate training in Ophthalmology.
