A group of senior trainees in the South West of England and a Consultant from Torbay hospital have recently published an excellent book entitled “Intravitreal Injections: A Handbook for Ophthalmic Nurse Practitioners and Trainees”.  Peter Simcock has written the foward to this book in view of his experience in teaching this technique and his innovation in promoting this form of service delivery as the first Consultant in the UK to develop such a service at the West of England Eye Unit in Exeter from 2007 to date.
