This edition of Moorfields Magazine is the first of a series of three showing how we are turning our values into action.
The first theme is Equity, and we feature our signing of the UNISON anti-racism charter. This will be followed by Kindness and Excellence in 2025.
Cataracts are generally an age-related condition. As well as showcasing this service, we have a feature on cataracts in childhood, as seen on CBBC’s Operation Ouch.
We also explain how our research could lead to new treatments for glaucoma, show how Mihir came to work for us following a spell as a volunteer and hear from one of the patients who helped make it easier for patients to get to Moorfields at Stratford.
(Now available in PDF and screen reader compatible formats, the magazine also features stories from patients, staff, governors and Moorfields Eye Charity.
