This week is AMD National Knowledge Week . 

 

Knowledge weeks serve to provide a collection of the evidence and information on recent developments, with this week the focus being on the clinical management of AMD.  This is presented through a number of topic summaries reflecting aspects of the care pathway, including the patients’ perspective.  Each summary is presented with on-line links wherever possible to cited references for current evidence and new knowledge (systematic reviews, primary research, and patient information).  The full list of topics covered by the AMD National Knowledge Week are listed here.

Some examples or articles:

Epidemiology
