Inside this edition, register now for our AI webinar on 7 December with Dr Nikolas Pontikos.

Steve has been volunteering for Retina UK since its formation in 1976 and has been a part of the Helpline team since the early 1980s.. He remembers very well a caller named Khadeja, who called the Helpline multiple times, following her diagnosis with RP in 1999.

Join us for a brief overview of the Government’s Access to Work scheme, learn how it could support you at work, and hear the experiences of a number of people with inherited sight loss who receive an Access to Work grant.

Dr Nikolas Pontikos is a Senior Research Fellow at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, and has been working on inherited retinal conditions for several years.

Our West Yorkshire peer support group recently welcomed The Blind Poet, Dave Steele, who is living with retinitis pigmentosa, to their meeting. He talks candidly about his diagnosis, his poetry and his optimistic mindset. 

This podcast covers the most important professionals who work with the sight loss community, along with their abbreviations and what they do to improve people’s lives.

We were joined for this popular ‘Ask the expert’ session by Samantha de Silva, a consultant ophthalmic surgeon at Oxford Universities Hospital Trust.
