What should have happened?
• 44% had ‘simple’ problems which could have been managed by optometrists in the community.
• An additional 37% could have been managed in the community if patient pathways involving prescription only medication had been available.
• Optometrists knew who to refer.
I have a dream…………..
Scottish Government’s Vision
• Optometry, the first port of call
They have the knowledge Give them the technology
New GOS Contract April 2006
"Anyone,
whether they have red eyes, painful eyes, flashes and floaters,
or just need new spectacles,
will be able to access the new NHS at their local Optometry practice.“

Shifting the balance of care
Gold rush?
What next for the Eye Health Network?
An Electronic Eye Health Network
Where information flows,not patients
• Local access• Information belongs to all
– Patients, primary, secondary care, boards, government
• An electronic cloud– Advice only, shared care, triage, appropriate referral– Clinical governance, service planning– Reimbursement
• Specialist role– Where information is not enough– Education, training, planning, service redesign– Public health
• Quality of care not dependent on where you live
– Communication– Politics
