About the course

The ZEISS OCT Course aims to equip participants with the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to acquire and interpret Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images effectively and confidently. This one-day training programme will be held on Tuesday 3rd & Wednesday 4th December 2024, with places allocated on a first-come-first-served basis once payment has been received.

Through a dynamic format of interactive lectures, case discussions and hands-on workshops, participants will learn the fundamentals of OCT acquisition, gain proficiency in interpreting OCT scans and ocular pathologies, and explore a range of advanced analysis techniques.

The course content is best suited to current and new users of OCT, but all levels of experience are very welcome.

Course places will be charged at £175 + VAT per person and will include lunch, refreshments, and a certificate of attendance for CPD hours. The course has been accredited with 10 GOC CPD points. Delegate places are only secured upon receipt of a card payment or purchase order – payment instructions will be emailed to you when you register.
