Women in Vision UK

The Women in Vision UK (WVUK) network aims to promote connections between women working in all fields related to Vision, to foster collaborations and mentoring, and overall increase our female profile.

WVUK logo

Our network is aimed broadly at women working in and around vision, from basic research to clinical practice, with over 300 members so far. The network works as a dynamic tool to promote contacts and disseminate information and support tools, particularly for early career members. We hope in the future to engage patient advocates, the public and the next generation of vision pioneers.

The Women in Vision Website has moved- find the latest info and support at:
