Retina UK are holding their first Professionals Conference on Friday 27th September in Milton Keynes.

• Further your understanding of the conditions and the unique challenges faced by those living with or affected by inherited retinal conditions to help you provide the best support.
• Network with other professionals working in this area and learn from each other’s experiences
• Speak with exhibitors , including our generous sponsors Oxsight, and try out the products available to support those living with inherited retinal conditions.
