Order your copy of 'The Learning Curve'

“F in ophthalmology: A few years back, before Gwyn was famous, two long-suffering co-editors were holed up in Gayfield Square, Edinburgh – the nerve centre of the now famous Eye News magazine. The editorial meeting was tense, prolonged and since Tariq had eaten the last sandwich two hours earlier, we were all a tad hangry. Editorial Coordinator Diana said “We need someone young, gifted and …” Account Manager Linda added “Welsh”. We searched high and low for this new writing talent and a literary star was born thus. Gwyn is our poetic ELF – Edgy, Lyrical and Funny. So if you want more F in ophthalmology pick up this slim volume. It will make you smile.”
