Best Disease Patient Day

In 2018 we held the first Ophthalmology Engage patient day focusing on Best diesease - Best Day 2018. 

The day included talks from patients, clinicians, scientists and patient support representatives, Q&A sessions and interactive events to introduce you to some of the work we are conducting to develop future therapies at the Institute of Ophthalmology. These talks were recorded and we are making them available here as a resource so anyone who missed, or couldn't make the event, can still learn about bestrophinopathies and continue to benefit from what was an extremely successful day.

The event was held with the support of UCL Institute of Ophthalmology Engage Committee, Friends of Moorfields,  NIHR Moorfields BRC and the Macular Society
