About
Sergio Pagliarini was first appointed Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon in 2000 at Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham and then moved to University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire in 2001.
He has been a full-time ophthalmologist since 1990. He graduated with honours in medicine and obtained his specialist certificate in Ophthalmology in Italy. He then spent two years of clinical and research fellowships in Medical Retina at Moorfields Eye Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital focusing on age-related macular degeneration research. Thereafter, he continued doing clinical research at the University of Rome. He has been permanently based in the UK since 1995.
He practices all aspects of ophthalmology with a specialist interest in macular degeneration, treatment of macular and retinal diseases and microincision cataract surgery.
He has received several clinical excellence awards. He was nominated for Macular Society Clinical Services National Awards in 2001, 2012 and 2013.
He conceptualised and opened a state-of-the-art Macular Unit in 2011 at the Hospital of St. Cross, Rugby, attracting multicentre clinical research in macular disease and providing an environment for pioneering new diagnostic imaging.
Mr Pagliarini’s membership and contribution to international retinal imaging panels over the years distinctively fortified his skills in correctly diagnosing retinal diseases and monitoring intraocular injection treatments, putting him in a position of attracting referrals from his colleagues.
