There are 75 LOCs in England, each one representing ophthalmic contractors and performers within a defined geographical area.
LOC websites allow local optical professionals to learn who their LOC officers and committee members are, what community services are operating in the area and other information and guidance that their LOC feels is relevant.
LOC websites are an effective way of helping LOCs to improve communications with local practitioners and also provide a point of contact for NHS Area Teams, Clinical Commissioning Groups,
patient groups and other bodies who may wish to engage with the LOC.
