Opticians can still carry out eye examinations and emergencies during #lockdown. Contact them by phone or email, and certainly don't cancel any booked appointments.
We've seen a worrying drop off in patients coming in for urgent care. We understand people are worried, but we are still here for you, and we have safety measures in place to help protect you. Talk to us if you're worried. Your sight matters.
Please seek advice from local optometrist or GP. Still here, still available, offering essential and urgent care, advice, and referral.

I’m very sad to say that I’ve decided not to take @Kika_GuideDog out alone anymore.
In the last week so many people haven’t bothered moving & instead brush past me. The pavements are now too busy for us to maintain social distancing.
One step back for independence.

The @The_AOP’s Peter Hampson has confirmed that NHS England will invest in establishing an electronic referral system that connects optometric practices to secondary care, allowing for a two way flow of information @100Optical#NHS#optometry
@TeesLoc@macmillancancer@SouthTees @SouthTeesCCG Iain Mellis was quoted in the Telegraph yesterday about the STORP pathway for suspect brain tumours. Tees optometrists are getting patients the care they require quicker with a direct referral to Neurosciences if required.
My hospital visit today was for Mam’s appointment with a hand surgeon.
“Well”, she said, “what do you think we should do?”
Erm, I’m not sure, let me think back to my own time in medical school? 🤨🤷🏻♀️
Who said networking can't be fun as well as educational! Another brilliant presentation this morning by our beauty expert and #TempleSpa owner Jayne Hepple Sedgewick from @MeltRelax- we all tried various facial products and left with beautiful glowing faces 😊 Many thanks Jayne!
