So pleased to be one of the new NIHR senior investigators announced today; www.nihr.ac.uk/career-devel...

Great to have recognition of orthoptic research and am looking forward to supporting more orthoptists in their own research journeys going forwards.

To our friends and colleagues - we wish you all a peaceful and happy Christmas, and a healthy and successful 2025. Best wishes from the VISION research team @liverpooluni.bsky.social

Keeping up our reporting of vision and stroke at UK stroke forum @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social Dr Claire Howard talking about return to driving under DVLA exceptional cases rules for stroke survivors with visual impairment @liverpooluni.bsky.social @bios-orthoptics.bsky.social

Interesting Vision session at the UK stroke forum conference. Discussions on various management options. Prof Anne Hege Aamodt outlining the TenCRAOS trial for central retinal artery occlusion. Results of the SEARCH trial for hemianopia with visual scanning training. Plus blindsight training.

Together we can achieve more. Great streamline for today’s #codesign session at #uksf24 #personalisation #livedexperience #respect @choclit.bsky.social

Packed auditorium for UKSF 2024 plenary session. Impressive line up of speakers for this panel discussion. Starting with discussion of NHS 10 year health plan. Stroke a major topic in this. For us, vision is a major topic within stroke care. @bios-orthoptics.bsky.social @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social

Day 1 UK Stroke Forum conference @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social Great to see so many colleagues already having been here less than an hour! First session on SSNAP. Interested to hear timelines and changes, especially with new vision questions added @bios-orthoptics.bsky.social @livuninews.bsky.social

Final day at the Canadian Stroke Congress in Calgary. Another #Vision session this morning to share facts on common visual impairments occurring after stroke. How, why and what to do... Screen, refer, manage. @followIOA @canstroke @LivUni

Dynamic workshop at the Canadian Stroke Congress. Cold outside in Calgary but busy indoors. Great to talk though the VISA vision screening tool with practical session. Highlighting the many issues related to visual impairment. A worldwide unmet need for stroke survivors. @liverpooluni.bsky.social
