Dr Emeriewen is a highly dedicated and patient–centered professional within the field of Oculoplastics and Cataracts. Currently working as a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon at Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, she is responsible for the Adnexal and Eye Emergency service.

Thanks to her managerial and leadership skills, she has built the first oculoplastic service at this Trust. Her outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, paired with a flexible and compassionate leadership style, have allowed her to become an extremely valuable member of the team in a short amount of time. She has recently taken up a Trust appraiser role, which allows her to gain insight into other specialties at the Trust.

Dr Emeriewen is an enthusiastic teacher, with a wide range of experience in teaching from both University Teaching Hospitals and District General Hospitals. She has trained junior doctors on the national ophthalmic training scheme, undergraduate and foundation year doctors, nurses, Optometrists as well as Orthoptists.
