"Every ending carries the seed of a new beginning" Changeover week in the UK: new residents begin their careers, while others finish one chapter of training. Our Uveitis team said goodbye to our excellent fellow Vivian, off to York next, celebrating w/ Mowgli & ice cream 🍛🍦 All the best, Vivian! 👁️
It is always lovely to receive a thank-you card from a patient, but it's equally special to receive one from the students and residents we have had the privilege of training. “Docendo discimus” - by teaching, we learn.
A real pleasure to have supported my former i SAMP medical student Timothy, who started as a doctor this week. His excellent work included an audit of axial SpA screening in our #uveitis clinic and research into the neuro-ophthalmic complications of Behçet’s disease at our National Behçet’s Centre
Seen at Aintree @nhsuhlg.bsky.social “I wish I could show you… the astonishing light of your own being.” A modern rendering inspired by Hafez, Iran’s great 14th-century poet, and a beautiful reminder that healthcare is not only about treating illness, but restoring dignity, hope and light. #NHS
This is in the territory of patient-safety threats, not just harmless engagement bait. TikTok needs to clearly label synthetic clinicians, verify medical credentials, act rapidly against repeat offenders and amplify trusted, evidence-based voices.
My ISU 2026 contribution focused on the rapidly expanding #ophthalmology–#oncology interface. ICIs, ADCs, TKIs, bispecifics are saving lives, but widening ocular toxicity demands proactive co-management: targeted screening, traffic-light triage & clear advice on continuation, pause and rechallenge.
A glimpse of the state of play in endophthalmitis diagnostics from Dr Koh-Hei Sonoda: a rapid multiplex kit detecting eight common bacterial pathogens alongside key resistance markers, including mecA, vanA and gyrA mutations, plus broad bacterial and fungal targets.
Hot 🔥take from Dr Xiaoli Liu st #IUSG2026 in Tübingen: in a mouse EAU model, high-dose capsaicin worsened uveitis via the eye-gut axis: microbiome, barrier integrity & inflammation. For patients asking about autoimmune diets - easy on the spicy curries...?🌶️👁️ #Uveitis #GutEyeAxis
Exciting opportunity for a Rheumatologist to join our team at the National Behçet’s Centre of Excellence in Liverpool! www.nhsjobs.com/job/UK/Merse...
4th July Firework Safety for friends in the US Fireworks are dangerous, and the numbr of people being killed or injured is increasing year-on-year. www.aao.org/eye-health/f...
Tomorrow, uveitis meets the easel yet again in Manchester🎨👁️ Looking forward to the Joint Manchester–Liverpool #Uveitis Meeting at the @WhitworthArt Gallery, where we’ll brush up (😉) on imaging, frame tricky cases, and keep inflammation firmly in perspective.
Northwich 10K completed in a month of 10k events. The beard may be greying, but I’m grateful to feel fitter & stronger. This was a great race, in support of The Joshua Tree, which provides tailored emotional, wellbeing & practical support for families affected by childhood cancers. #Running
Even in today’s high temperatures, our uveitis patients still made it to clinic 🏆 Grateful to our patients and clinic teams working through the heat.
"My dataset." "My patients." "My field." "My idea." "My precious." - The Gollum Effect in academia... Have you encountered this...? Hoarding opportunities isn’t mentorship, and gatekeeping isn’t excellence. Science moves faster, and becomes fairer, when we open doors rather than guard them....
Indication: Children aged 3 to 14 years. Severity: For #myopia between -0.50 DS and -6.00 DS with a progression rate of 0.50 DS or more per year. Usage: Administered as eye drops once daily, typically at bedtime.
Sorcerer's berries to the rescue? Low‑dose atropine is licensed in the UK to slow childhood myopia, whilst trials are taking place in the US 🎉 Potentially a big moment for paediatric eye care... #MyopiaManagement #PaediatricOphthalmology #Optometry #Orthoptics
Reinforcing the same message: patients benefit when ophthalmologists step beyond the clinic, build rapid referral pathways, recognise systemic red flags early, and co-manage complex disease across specialties. The eye may be small, but the conversations it opens are whole-body conversations.
As clinicians and researchers, we see every day why sustained investment in #cancer research matters: earlier diagnosis, better biomarkers, safer treatments, more personalised care, and meaningful breakthroughs that translate into longer and better lives for patients. #CancerResearch
Ran the 10K Epsom & Ewell Race for Life today in support of @cancerresearchuk.org Proud to support the science, the patients, the families, and the teams working towards the next generation of cancer treatments. Thank you to all the volunteers and supporters 🫂 #RaceForLife #CancerResearchUK
Congrats to our fellow Anu for winning the BOPSS #ThyroidEyeDisease Charity Prize 🏆 Her presentation evaluated our MDT, pharmacist-supported immunosuppression clinic for TED, showing how structured long-term monitoring can support safe, cost-effective care for patients with orbital inflammation.
This board at the Clinical Eye Research Centre, St Paul’s Eye Unit, Liverpool, tells a powerful story: years of teamwork, patient participation and research growth. From medical retina and cornea to uveitis, ocular oncology and much more, each trial and registry represents hope, access and progress
Who else accidentally writes Cloverfield instead of clover-leaf for field defects in patient notes... 😢 Just to highlight for myself more than others: A clover-leaf visual field implies questionable reliability. A Cloverfield visual field means the patient saw a giant monster.
These boards tell St Paul’s Eye Unit’s story: a proud lineage of consultants & professors, and a simple purpose that still drives us - helping patients leave seeing better than when they arrived. Legacy, teamwork and sight-saving research in one corridor.
Collaborating with colleagues in Europe in order to get better outcomes for all of our patients 🤞🏻 🇪🇺 #Uveitis
First and foremost, thoughts with Dr Kumar as no one should have to go through what he has. Secondly, this isn't right on any level. How is a consultant psychiatrist signing this off? How is a patient not seen and assessed before a decision like this is made? This needs to be a national priority
Proud to see our Liverpool neuro-#ophthalmology team represented at EUNOS in Milan. Dr Anna Visca presented our service audit and pathway update for Charles Bonnet Syndrome, while Dr Alaeldin Nour presented contrasting cases where neuro-ophthalmic disease signalled hidden systemic pathology.
Today was IMT Careers Day @nhsUHLG, and I shared the stage with colleagues across the physician specialties. My core message: the eye is a systemic organ - Medical Ophthalmology is physicianly diagnosis through ocular anatomy. Bit of history & future horizons ⬇️ #Ophthalmology #Oculomics #Medicine
Dr Arezoo Esmaeili has been missing since 9 January 2026 in Mashhad. She was last seen providing first aid to injured protesters, where she was carrying a backpack filled with basic medical supplies. Since then, there has been no news of her whereabouts or condition. #IranMedics #IranMassacre
