Retina UK will be holding its Professionals Conference on Friday 27 September at the Pendulum Hotel in Manchester.

• The role of peer-to-peer support in achieving good outcomes: a panel of lived experience volunteers and service users will explain the positive impact peer-to-peer support has had on their lives
• The importance of quality-of-life research: understanding the impact of inherited sight loss: exploring the outcomes of an in-depth study on the impact of retinitis pigmentosa on patients and family members
• Supporting professionals to deliver equitable, accessible and inclusive services
The conference will also provide practical advice with guest speakers from SeeAbility, BAME Vision and the RNIB.
