The glaucoma rotation at Oxford eye hospital is a fulfilling experience. The information provided in this section describes my experience trainings as an ST4 OST under Mr Gurjeet Jutley who is a Glaucoma and Cataract surgery specialist.

Working under the supervision of Mr Jutley was a fun and uncertainly rewarding experience. Mr Jutley is fair and leads by example. He cultivates a relaxing, inclusive and supportive work environment. There are clear roles and objectives as well as a clear focus to strive to provide world class patient centric care.

You soon realise that you are an integral part of a team of nurses, doctors and allied health professionals. Everyone’s efforts and contributions are acknowledged and valued. There was is constructive critique and everyone is supported to reflect upon their work.

The placement offers are ample training opportunities; a weekly dedicated glaucoma teaching session, ad-hog teaching during clinics, a laser clinic and of course surgical training. During that session I was guided and supported to perform multiple complex surgeries.

Mr Gurjeet Jutley was physically present at Oxford eye hospital on Tuesdays where I worked alongside him in the glaucoma specialist clinic in the morning and afternoon.Thursday morning, he was supervising the work at the emergency department. Wednesday he runs a clinic atWitney. On Friday mornings Mr Jutley has an operating list in Oxford and all allocated trainees and fellow actively participate.

Gurj is an outstanding doctor, in every respect. He is highly knowledgeable and uses this well to provide excellent care to his patients. As a surgeon, he is highly skilled in glaucoma surgery, complex cataracts and difficult surgical cases. I was very fortunate to work with him and could benefit from his broad range of experience. He is a great colleague, and it was a pleasure to work with him... more

I have had the pleasure of working with Mr Gurjeet Jutley over the last eight months during my Ophthalmology Specialist Trainee rotation at the Oxford Eye Hospital. Mr Jutley was my theatre session supervisor and I have found these sessions very valuable both for learning new surgical skills (MIGS surgery, trabeculectomy, complex cataract cases) and for his tips on supervising more junior colleagues... more

Mr Jutley has been very supportive of trainees and colleagues since the day he started at Oxford and it has wholly been a pleasure to work alongside him. He goes out of his way to ensure every trainee has an opportunity to perform surgery on his list and learn from it. He is enthusiastic and proactive having started a weekly glaucoma teaching forum in the department which provides a relaxed atmosphere to discuss latest developments in the field... more

I am a pharmacy technician at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. I was kindly invited by Mr Gurjeet Jutley to shadow an Oxford Eye Hospital/glaucoma clinic placed in the Witney community hospital. This was in order to help me gain some experience and collect some essential placement evidence to complete an assignment for a post graduate certificate I am currently studying for. Read More

International Glaucoma Association Professor of Ophthalmology for Glaucoma & Allied Studies
Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London, and Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UK

David Garway-Heath is currently President of the European Glaucoma Society. In addition to his clinical work, he leads research in visual assessment and imaging at the Biomedical Research Centre of the UK National Institute for Health Research. The ‘Garway-Heath map’ that he developed has contributed to the understanding of structure- function relationship in glaucoma and the ‘Moorfields Regression Analysis’, a diagnostic algorithm that he developed for the HRT, has led to the widespread use of imaging in glaucoma management. He conducted the first randomized placebo-controlled trial to provide evidence for visual field preservation with an IOP-lowering drug, and the study design he used for the trial enabled a considerable reduction in the period needed to identify treatment effects.

Professor Garway-Heath has been recipient of several awards and has been consecutively cited as one of the 100 most influential people in ophthalmology worldwide in The Ophthalmologist magazine’s power list. He is also Vice President of the Imaging and Perimetry Society, Chair of the Membership Committee of the Glaucoma Research Society, and Workstream Lead for the design of the new Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology centre.
