Dear colleague
We are writing to invite feedback on Quality in Optometry (QiO), a bespoke quality assurance toolkit developed by the sector for the sector.
QiO has been updated over the years and remains a useful tool for practices across England but is now due an upgrade. During 2025/26 the sector bodies and LOCSU are working together to review the platform with the aim to inform the development of a future platform next year. This review process will commence with a 3-week sector consultation to gain user experience.
QiO users are invited to provide feedback using this survey no later than Sunday 6th July.
LOCs are asked to pass the survey link to their members via their usual communication channels. Quality in Optometry remains active and will be updated to reflect the new NHS Standard contract in the coming months.

Contact your sector body or Info@locsu.co.uk if you have any queries.
Best wishes
The LOCSU team
