Outcomes of cataract surgery training among ophthalmology trainees in the independent sector and within the NHS

A structured training programme on high-volume lists within IS setting provided two trainees with valuable exposure to diverse cataract cases while ensuring safety and efficiency, producing training outcomes comparable to the NHS and NOD standards. This is a pilot study, and a much larger multicentre study will be required before the widespread introduction of training in cataract surgery in the IS can be recommended.

Abstract

A structured training programme on high-volume lists within IS setting provided two trainees with valuable exposure to diverse cataract cases while ensuring safety and efficiency, producing training outcomes comparable to the NHS and NOD standards. This is a pilot study, and a much larger multicentre study will be required before the widespread introduction of training in cataract surgery in the IS can be recommended.
