GREG (Gloucestershire Research & Education Group): Introduction to Grading Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)
11 November 2024
-12 November 2024
This course has been designed to introduce students to grading in diabetic retinopathy, based around national standards. It consists of pre-course online learning, and two days of face to face training. It explores diabetic retinopathy in depth, and provides students with an extensive understanding of how this condition is classified.
The teaching is provided by Gloucestershire Research & Education Group and participants will receive an in-house certificate from the Gloucestershire Research & Education Group, on successful completion.
GREG (Gloucestershire Research & Education Group): Advanced Grading in Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)
19 November 2024
-20 November 2024
This course has been designed to develop students’ knowledge further in the intricacies of diabetic retinopathy grading, to include ROG and arbitration. It consists of two days face-to-face training. We include lectures exploring patients with more complex needs and non-routine pathology. The course provides the grader with the opportunity to make clinical decisions and discuss outcomes.
The teaching is provided by Gloucestershire Research & Education Group and participants will receive an in-house certificate from the Gloucestershire Research & Education Group, on successful completion.

Everolimus, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinal detachment, ribosomal protein S6 (RPS6)
The principal cells involved in proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR) are retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE). Everolimus is a drug used in renal cell carcinoma which targets and inhibits a key regulatory protein in cancer (mTOR). In this study, the authors investigated...

Methotrexate (MTX) is an antineoplastic antimetabolite with immunosuppressant properties. Folate antagonism is known to contribute to the antiproliferative effects of MTX, and release of adenosine from cells and inhibition of polyamines may explain its anti-inflammatory effects. These activities contribute to...
