Fantastic to see @MarshadeCordova making the case for investment in eyecare ahead of #Budget2024! Funding for a phased expansion in ophthalmology training places is essential to boost long term capacity alongside investment in the IT infrastructure to support more integrated care

Ahead of the Spring Budget next week, I have written to the Chancellor to urge him to increase investment in eye health care. The Govt must take urgent action to tackle the eye health emergency. More funding in the NHS for eye health will reduce the backlogs, prevent avoidable sight loss, and ensure the delivery of good quality eye health care that everyone can access, when and where they need it.

Wonderful to see this developed and published. Looking forward to @EyecareServices working with #LOCs on the implementation of this in Local NHS systems. #ThinkOptometry @LOCSU @ClinicalCouncil @CollegeOptomUK @RCOphth

A new standard clinical specification for community minor & urgent eye care has been published today. This will enable optometrists to further provide eye care for a wide range of common ocular conditions and relieve pressure on GPs & hospitals. More info coptom.uk/49MfYoC

NTWLOC have been at #NENCMECC raising awareness of including optometry and good eyesight in conversations. There were some great discussions around digital literacy, personalised care, and people with additional needs. @StephanieCair20 @LOCSU @TeesLoc @NENC_NHS @LocDurham

Annual economic cost of sight loss:£38 billion!!!!! But up to 50% of sight loss is avoidable. Investment in primary eyecare will improve access, support for self-care, earlier identification and treatment. Working in partnership with #ophthalmology #optometry

@CollegeOptomUK We also get a number of patients who have been certified without a recent sight test who have been registered sight impaired but then when they get an updated pair of glasses they are better than the driving standard...

QUESTION: Is it time optometrists were allowed to certify patients as visually impaired❓ It's estimated that up to 51% of those eligible for Sight Impairment Certification aren't certified, which limits their access to help. Read more in Acuity ➡️ bit.ly/3tVlKl4
