Needs of ophthalmologic societies are:
1. Management skills (how to run a society, how to determine member’s needs and
problems, how to find solutions, how to realize these solutions, how to advocate the
profession and how to educate the society, how to create awareness)
2. Techniques to create awareness to ethical issues amongst the members of the
society

While the reduction of payment amounts per service will remain a major ongoing concer for the membership a bigger issue may lay in the diversion of teaching time to service time in many Residency programs. A reexamination of the funding of advanced training in ophthalmology is essential

- we are missing communication with out national branch
- we are missing our society's activities (apart from going on the meetings. For example continuing medical education, helping young, enthusiastic and hard working ophthalmologist to work, gain new knowledge and skills and then to help patients. If you belive, there are no ophthalmologists in Serbia (7.3 mill citizens) performing laser therapy in newborns with ROP etc.

we should ask them what they see as their needs

1. To develop an effective communication strategy using email/website/letters/journal/press
2. To engage proactively with government
3. To strengthen lay representation and involvement in the College
4. Strengthen our international remit through committees, links programmes, making exams available, helping refugees etc
5. Maintaining an income stream to develop education/training/standards etc whilst maintaining charitable status
6. Become more involved with ocular public health and prevention of eye disease

The biggest problem will be lack of funding.

The main issues facing Oculofacial plastic surgery currently are recognition of significant subspecialty training beyond residency, access to patients (limited by insurance plans or groups), encroachment by other subspecialties, lack of political clout due to relatively small numbers.
It has always been the focus of ASOPRS to provide excellent training in various venues and this will continue to be important for us.
Because of our small numbers, we need to encourage and foster greater participation accross more of the society.

Building a strong presence on the political scene
Unite the ophthalmologists, who should act as a group and not in view of their private interests

The greatest needs of ophthalmic society in our region is once again education and training. The biggest obstacle in achieving this goal is lack of motivation. Some degree of politics and resistance to adapt new approach in the organization are other issues.

The greatest needs of the Royal College of Ophthalmology will be to try and translate what the government wants to achieve for the delivery of health care services into what can be delivered by the manpower and resources available in a way that maintains professional standards and carries the support of the ophthalmologists who are members of the society.
