Online Community of the Ophthalmic Nursing Forum

Welcome to the RCN Ophthalmic Nursing Forum.

It's been a while in the making but the webpage has finally been launched. The content will improve as time goes on and as more and more members access it and hopefully offer information or articles that can be posted on the site.

News and event articles are always welcome to keep members aware of developments within ophthalmic practice, but before requesting an inclusion, please read the RCN's guidance on acceptable practice, which gives clear guidance on what content we are permitted to post on our webpage.

If you have a suggestion for our community page, you can contact the web editor for inclusion on the web, or if you have articles for EyeLines, the newsletter of the Ophthalmic Nurses Forum, these can be e-mailed to the Eyelines Editor.

If you're not yet a member of the Ophthalmic Nursing Forum, what are you waiting for? RCN members can join up to three forums free of charge, and benefits include regular e-newsletters from the forum keeping you up to date on topics such as good practice and forthcoming events. Each forum also has its own area on the RCN's Discussion Zone where you can network with others in your specialty.

To join just call RCN Direct on 0345 772 6100 - option 1. Or you can join our forum by accessing 'MyRCN' in the top right of this page and ammending your details on-line.

The Ophthalmic Forum Committee are pleased to represent our field of practice at a national and international level. We welcome issues regarding practice, development, research, education and policy surrounding ophthalmology and the visual sciences.
