About
Julie Thomson is a Consultant in General Ophthalmology and Oculoplastics within the NHS, providing comprehensive care across all areas of ophthalmology, from emergency procedures to specialist oculoplastic surgery. She offers a wide range of treatments including brow lifts, blepharoplasty, eyelid reconstruction, and management of tear drainage disorders, alongside general ophthalmic procedures such as laser treatments and intravitreal injections.
Julie graduated in Medicine (MB, BChir) from the University of Cambridge in 1995, having first completed an Honours degree in Anatomy and Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield. Early in her career, she worked in Forensic Medicine before commissioning into the Royal Air Force, where she served as a Medical Officer for 22 years. During her military service, she completed two operational tours and trained extensively in ophthalmic surgery across Peterborough, Birmingham, and Nottingham, later undertaking fellowship training in Oculoplastics in Birmingham.
Following her retirement from the RAF as a senior officer, Julie joined the NHS full-time, completing a Clinical Fellowship in Medical Retina and Oculoplastics at Worcester Hospitals Trust before being appointed to her current substantive Consultant post. Passionate about education, she is Medical Education Lead, Nurse Teaching Lead, and Clinical Supervisor for trainee ophthalmologists within her department.
