CPD for Ophthalmic Nurses

Free CPD for Ophthalmic Nurses

Macular Disease Foundation Australia (MDFA) has launched free CPD courses for health professionals that have been developed with Australia’s leading retinal specialists, including world-renowned ophthalmologist Professor Paul Mitchell AO.

More than 1.5 million Australians have some evidence of AMD – the leading cause of irreversible severe vision loss and blindness in Australia.

Healthcare professionals are at the frontline of patient interactions and have a valuable role in decreasing preventable blindness and in being an important part of the solution to reduce both the incidence and impact of macular disease.
