As we embark on another weekend of learning and camaraderie, we look forward to meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and an enjoyable time together.

Thank you for being part of this community, and we wish you an inspiring and memorable meeting.

Warm regards,

The Alistair Fielder Prize in Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology trainees and medical students are cordially invited to participate in the esteemed Alistair Fielder Prize in Ophthalmology. Named in honour of Professor Alistair Fielder, who annually chairs the judging committee, this competition offers a platform for showcasing exceptional case presentations by participants.

There are two prize categories: one designated for medical students and the other for ophthalmic trainees or fellows at any stage of their training. Additionally, a prize will be awarded for the best poster presentation.

Regulations:

• Trainee participants must prepare and present a case or case series, or a research paper. The trainee must have been personally involved in the presented case or taken an active role in the research project.
• Medical students are encouraged to present cases provided by their supervising clinical trainers, supplemented by their own background clinical research on the case.
• Presentations should aim to enhance clinical practice by conveying valuable lessons from the case scenario. The judging committee, comprising of Professor Alistair Fielder and three other consultants, will evaluate contestants based on presentation skills, clinical significance, scientific content, and originality. The judging panel may pose questions to the presenters, but audience questions will not be permitted.
• The Pantheo team is pleased to offer cases and guidance to medical students for both presentations and posters, as is customary each year. Students may collaborate in groups of two or three for poster presentations.

Declaration of Interest:

Interested participants are requested to submit a declaration of interest to Dr. Katia Papastavrou via email at conference@pantheo.com  or katia@pantheo.com by the end of January.

Situated at the crossroads of three continents – Europe, Asia and Africa – the island’s unique geographic position has played an important part in its turbulent past since antiquity. Its Prehistoric Age inhabitants were joined 3,500 years ago by the Mycenaean Greeks, who introduced and established their civilisation, thus permanently instilling the island’s Greek roots.
