Continuing medical education

H+O organises national and international symposia, workshops, expert panels, local and national continuing medical education and information events for lay people, including presentation if desired. Speakers at the continuing medical education and symposia are trained beforehand in specially designed Train-the-Trainer Workshops.

Task
Planning and organisation of the glaucoma symposium for ophthalmologists from the whole of German-speaking Switzerland as well as hosting and coaching of the national and international speakers. The event is intended to gain recognition and thereby continuing medical education points by the Swiss Ophthalmologic Society (SOG).

Implementation
H+O organised the symposium in Basle and was responsible for it being conducted successfully. International speakers presented the latest results of glaucoma research and demonstrated the significance of the thickness of the cornea, the treatment of ocular hypertension based on the NNT concept, the advantages and disadvantages of surgical and pharmacological treatment and how to measure blood circulation in the eye. The opportunities for discussion and a question-and-answer session were greeted with enthusiasm by the participating ophthalmologists.
