We will be heading to Birmingham (and online) in 2026 for our Professionals' Conference.

Join colleagues from across the eye‑health and sight‑loss sector at the Retina UK Professionals Conference on 18 September, held at the Edgbaston Park Hotel and Conference Centre, Birmingham, from 10:00–15:30. This CPD‑accredited, hybrid event is open to practitioners, clinicians, researchers, and professionals across the sight‑loss sector, offering a day of learning, collaboration, and practical insight.

The morning programme features expert‑led sessions on genetics, lived experience, creating safe environments for difficult conversations, and emerging wearable technologies. Delegates will also have opportunities to explore exhibition stands and network with peers.

In the afternoon, in‑person attendees will take part in profession‑specific CPD workshop sessions, more information on these to follow. Other in person attendees will continue to access the main room session, which will also be streamed live.

Whether you work directly with individuals and families or contribute to research, service development, or education, the Retina UK Professionals Conference provides a valuable opportunity to deepen your knowledge, strengthen connections, and take away actionable ideas for your practice.

In‑person places are limited and offered on a first‑come, first‑served basis. Please register below to secure your spot.
