NHS Grampian Charity has joined with local charity, Fighting for Sight, to donate a Vitreoretinal and Cataract Eye Surgery Simulator to the Ophthalmology Department at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. This highly advanced simulator allows trainees to become familiar with a range of surgical techniques and to complete their training in Aberdeen. The simulator also gives experienced eye surgeons the opportunity to develop their skills in this complex area of surgery.
The simulator will be relocated when the Eye Clinic moves to its new home within the main hospital building later this year.
