On the evening of 29th March, it was our great delight to host and facilitate a journey through the last year as an early adopter of the national initiative Optometry First.<\/p>\n

We were joined by colleagues from LOCSU, the local commissioners, PES (Primary Eyecare Services), local optometrists and colleagues from the local trust as we travelled together from the beginnings of Optometry First, through the successes of the initiative on the island and finally peered into the future of ongoing integrated and collaborative patient centred eyecare on the island.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the evening there was no denying the evidence: community optometry practices are making a huge difference. Use of CUES is growing, and hospital eye service (HES) presentations are reducing \u2013 meaning HES time is being used more appropriately and the released capacity will allow waiting list reduction for patients. Feedback and data analysis importantly also shows us that patients are happy and benefiting from our work together.<\/p>\n

We have some real successes to celebrate from the last twelve months!<\/p>\n

The take home message from the event was that this is a journey, and it\u2019s one we are travelling together. A fully integrated eyecare pathway for all patients and all conditions isn\u2019t made overnight, but by continuing to work together; keeping our collective goal of \u2018best possible patient care\u2019 at the centre, we will continue heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
