British Emergency
Eye Care Society

The Society was founded in 2013 with the aim of bringing together practitioners in the United Kingdom who provide acute ophthalmology services within their institutions. We run an annual scientific meeting open to all healthcare professionals involved in emergency eye care

About us

Our mission is to foster best practices in emergency eye care and enhance excellence in patient care. We are committed to providing formal training opportunities and establishing clear career pathways for practitioners, ensuring that all professionals have access to the resources they need to thrive. By promoting collaborative working practices, we create a platform for sharing knowledge, resources, and experiences, strengthening the community of emergency eye care specialists.

We aim to achieve wider recognition of emergency eye care as a vital sub-specialty within ophthalmology, advocating for its importance in addressing critical patient needs. Additionally, we are dedicated to advancing the field through the promotion and support of innovative research, driving improvements that benefit both practitioners and patients. Through these efforts, we seek to elevate the standards and impact of emergency eye care on a global scale.

BEECS Annual Meetings

We organise annual meetings that serve as a platform to discuss the latest guidelines and advancements in emergency eye care, delivered by leading experts in the field. These events provide an opportunity to showcase innovative research and ideas through oral and poster presentations, with recognition and prizes awarded to outstanding contributions. We design our annual gatherings to foster collaboration, exchange knowledge, and honour excellence in the emergency eye care community.
