The conference will provide the stage for a set of speakers who will give broad and varied perspectives on eye related disease.  You will hear clinically informative talks from Consultant Ophthalmologists who will discuss topics relating to their sub-specialty, and   hear from other members of the multi-disciplinary team.  And on Sunday, we are excited to showcase cutting edge vision related research.

What delegates said about BEC 2021

  • Christina, medical student

    “Really enjoyed the talks, there are not many ophthalmology based conferences suitable for undergraduate level students, so thank you very much!”

  • Owen, medical student

    “Great opportunity for undergraduates to get experience with conferences/presenting posters.”

  • Aleena, junior doctor

    “Hearing about current research from the leading professors was fantastic. The conference was not only extremely educational but has motivated me to seek more research opportunities locally.”

  • Hatim, junior doctor

    “Absolutely the best conference that I have ever participated in! The structure of day 1 being more "teaching based" and day 2 being more "research based" worked extremely well. All of the speakers were hugely engaging. The three organisers (Philip, Dr Williams and Dr. Khan) were very professional and helped the speakers keep to timing. Their prompts in the chat box also encouraged me to participate in the discussions a bit more. Really inspiring conference, would highly recommend to anyone who's thinking about going into ophthalmology, and even to those who are not!”

  • Marjorie, junior doctor

    “Very well organised, insightful conference! I'll definitely recommend it to everyone with an interest in ophthalmology and vision science.”
