The Curriculum Statement defines the Curriculum and its purpose.

The "Summary Table" presents all the core learning outcomes, categorised as follows:

• 3 Themes
• 13 Domains of Clinical Practice: These are actually high order learning outcomes which allow the detailed outcomes to be grouped in a logical manner. These are derived from the "Dundee model" and map well to "Good Medical Practice"
• 180 Learning Outcomes: Specific learning outcomes to be achieved, grouped by Domain

The "Learning Outcomes" page allows you to read about the outcomes in more detail. Many other pages have hyperlinks to the details of relevant learning outcomes.

The "Assessments" page allows access to full details of how Curricular outcomes should be assessed and to the relevant documentation; this includes Work-place-Based Assessments (WBA), examinations and formal Annual Assessments (successors to RITA).

The "Programme Delivery" page gives advice and comments on the organisation of a training programme.

The "Entering OST" page gives details of the requirements for entry to the run-through Ophthalmic Specilist Training (OST) programme.
