HAAG-STREIT ACADEMY A guide to 2020 education & training events
The Haag-Streit Academy
The Haag-Streit Academy understands the importance of training and education, both
in terms of device operation and clinical diagnosis. That’s why we have developed an
educational programme which sets the highest standards in the optical industry.
We deliver a comprehensive education and training programme, including; post-
installation on-site customer training, a variety of CPD-accredited live events and
flexible online e-learning courses.
Haag-Streit Academy’s live events are hosted at a variety of locations UK-wide. We also
hold some of our key events at our dedicated training facility, located at the Haag-Streit
UK (HS-UK) Headquarters in Harlow, Essex.
Our 2020 calendar of events will
focus on key products within the HS-
UK portfolio, including; slit lamps &
slit lamp imaging, Octopus 900 gold
standard perimetry, LENSTAR LS 900
biometry and ophthalmic ultrasound.
Courses will take place at venues
across the country and will include
general theory-based lectures, as
well as expert user training to help
both new and existing Haag-Streit UK
customers get the most out of their
devices.
