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).

Since 2009, 19 modules have been created in the elearning programme to support training in Ophthalmology.

As the programme develops, we would like to survey feedback from postgraduate and experienced Ophthalmologists who have accessed course content over recent years.

Feedback survey A quick survey has been developed to gain feedback on modules in the Eye-Site elearning programme.

By participating in the survey, you will provide valuable insight into course content and help shape our evaluation process.

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.
