BARS Conference 2013

BARS Council are pleased to announce that we are ready to take bookings for our 13th Annual Conference, which this year sees the conference returning to the Gosforth Park Hotel  in Newcastle  on the 26th & 27th September 2013.  The BARS conference in 2009 was held within this hotel and we received very encouraging feedback from the attendees about the hotel, the food and the hotel staff so we decided that it was well worth a return visit.

On another positive note we have been able to reduce the cost of attendance this year and it is therefore cheaper to attend than last year. We have been working hard behind the scenes and have got a good mixture of subjects for the presentations and we are running a photographic competition that screeners can enter with the possibility of winning an iPad. 

The Royal College of Ophthalmologists Education Dept/Professional Standards have awarded our conference 7 CPD points - category B.  This will be beneficial for medical staff attending.

Please browse to the conferences page to download the Conference Programme, Conference Registration form and the other documents relating to this conference.

BARS Council look forward to seeing you all in Newcastle.

Kindest Regards

BARS Council

ANIMATION

Bars and Bristol Community Health commissioned a short animation that screening programmes can use to educate their patients or use it as an advert on GP video systems about the screening process.  If programmes would like to use the animation please contact BARS council on webadmin@eyescreening.org.uk.
Bars council would like to say a special thank you to Kate, the artist who spent many hours creating the animation. The animation can be seen at the link below.
