Review of the activities and future development
British Ophthalmic Anaesthesia Society (BOAS) held its annual scientific meeting in London on 5-6 July 2022. This was the first ‘in-person’ scientific meeting/conference since the lifting of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The meeting was well received, though attendance was a little lower than at previous London meetings- presumably because of ongoing concerns regarding Covid. In addition to lectures on issues of topical interest, doctors in training did presentations and posters pertaining to their audit and research activities. Prizes were awarded to the best presentations. BOAS also published two editions of academic journal titled 'Ophthalmic Anaesthesia' during the year. These contained clinical reports and review articles pertaining to the specialist field. It was hoped that continuing recovery from the Covid pandemic will allow resumption of ‘normal’ face to face meetings in 2023-4.
