Standards and good practice guidelines

Two of the main aims of BriSCEV are to promote and extend the knowledge of clinical electrophysiology of vision and also to provide guidance on education and training, and on professional standards.

 

ISCEV has published the following compilations of protocols. These have been made public access from the Springer website but can also be accessed below.

ISCEV standard for clinical pattern electroretinography (2024 update) 

ISCEV Standard for full-field clinical electroretinography (ERG) - (2022 update)

Information on professional guidance for scientists, optometrist and clinicians have been produced by the Academy of Healthcare Clinical Science (AHCS), the college of optometrists and the general medical council (GMC) respectively. Links to all three sets of guidlines can be found below. 

 

AHCS - Good scientific practice (2021)
