Overall Service Aims * To improve eye health and reduce inequalities by providing increased access to eye care treatment in the community closer to home. * To utilise the knowledge and skills of primary care ophthalmic practitioners to triage manage and prioritise patients presenting with an eye condition. * Reduce the number of unnecessary referrals into secondary care therefore releasing clinic capacity in secondary care to deal with more complex ophthalmic conditions. * To provide a more cost effective service with a greater number of patients managed within primary care setting. There is an expectation that all optometrists delivering the service to patients shall be employed or engaged by a single provider who will deal directly with the commissioner. The service provider must be registered with the General Optical Council (GOC). The Service provider will ensure that the service is provided by accredited ophthalmic optometrists registered on an ophthalmic performers list with the (GOC) or on a medical performers list, registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and must complete the WOPEC training and accreditation package. Additional information: All locations delivering the service are subject to approval by North Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and should be accessible by patients in line with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act.
