17-11-17 RANZCO 2017 At the end of October 2017 Drs Sonya Bennett and Richard Hart travelled to Perth, Australia, to attend the 49th Annual Scientific Congress of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO). They were accompanied by their technicians, Selina Phuah and Lizette Jordaan, as well as our Practice Manager Sharron Stone. The program offered lectures and workshops for practice managers, optometrists and specialists and was a forum for all participants to meet or reacquaint with colleagues, sharing and enhancing their knowledge. It was also a perfect opportunity for our City Eye Specialists clinical team to spend time together socialising and discussing ideas to enhance our focus on providing excellent patient care. Dr Hart presented two talks during the conference. One was about the medical management of thyroid eye disease. The other was presented during the International Development Workshop which focussed on bringing together people involved in international development as well as those working in the countries themselves. Dr Hart talked about the program he set up and ran in Vietnam during 2013 as an example of what can be achieved. During his time there Dr Hart also attended the ANZOPS (Australia and New Zealand Society of Ophthalmic Plastic Surgeons) meeting and was elected as Secretary for the society. Back
