The West Bank is subject to a system of movement restrictions, including the Separation Wall, permit system, settler-only roads, and the many checkpoints. Those living in the area are often facing extreme poverty. The hospital and satellite clinics and mobile outreach teams in the West Bank provides sight-saving treatments such as cataract and laser eye surgery to treat diabetic retinopathy. Their Gaza Hospital was established in 1992 to meet the growing need for eye care in a population that has been facing increasing difficulties in accessing the main hospital in Jerusalem. Over 1.8 million Palestinians live in isolation in Gaza, one of the most heavily populated areas in the world, of which 1.3 million are refugees.

Upon completion, graduates are awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in Ophthalmic Nursing, accredited by the University of West London.

Once qualified, the doctors can specialise in a particular area of ophthalmology under our Fellowship Programme. The Joint Teaching Programme in partnership with the Israeli Hadassah Medical Center, is where many of our doctors undertake their training. This partnership allows our doctors to access training that is not available to them in the oPt; as well as encouraging constructive relationships between Israelis and Palestinians.

- Gabriel and Eliyahu are on a road that has no map. Where the political dialogue has failed to bring an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, these two Israelis - members of a tribe of visionaries from both sides of the border - dare to succeed. Inspired by sulha, the traditional Middle Eastern process of reconciliation, they hope to begin to heal the wounds of the past fifty years and, in so doing, spark nothing less than a revolutionary movement for peace. Rana, Khaled and Said are all Palestinians from the West Bank. The only Jews in their world are soldiers. Gabriel and Eliyahu hope to change that by inviting them, along with 250 other Palestinians as well as Jews and Arabs from all over Israel, to The Sulha Way, a 3-day peace gathering in northern Israel. For the Palestinians, it is a chance to finally meet a Jew outside of their normal confrontational encounters, on relatively equal footing. But that isn't the only opportunity presented. Though it is only for three days, it is a chance to taste freedom for the first time in years - to actually leave the West Bank. For the peace activists, the journey begins and ends with Abraham, biblical father to both the Jewish and Muslim peoples. With their faith riding on the transformative power of personal connection, they seek an apolitical and spiritually based solution to the conflict. In order to facilitate the dialogue, they invited peacemakers from around the globe, leaders who recently emerged from their own ethnic conflicts, among them a Tibetan monk, a Zulu priest and an Irish Catholic peace activist. As quixotic an approach as it may be, the strength of their convictions is as fierce as the hatred they seek to neutralize. The Road to Sulha tells the story of their encounter as Israelis and Palestinians meet with their inherited enemies and are forced to confront their own relationships to the conflict. Punctuated by the moving stories of Rami and Ali, two survivors of the violence that has wreaked havoc on thousands of families from both sides - this is the story of one small group's efforts at peace in one of the world's most enduring and bloody conflicts.
