About the event

This online dedicated therapeutics peer review session is only open to College members who are fully qualified independent prescribers. The session will cover your GOC IP peer review requirement and is worth three interactive CPD points.

At this online session, you will join a large group for an introduction and then participate in a small, virtual group to review three cases.

The introduction session will be conducted by a lead facilitator and each small group will be led by an experienced facilitator. The cases are: 

  • Patient with a red eye 
  • Patient with upper eyelid swelling
  • Red eye in contact lens wearer

This event is only open to College members who are fully qualified independent prescribers.

These are brand new cases for 2026 but the content of this session is a repeat of those on 26 February and 28 April.
