Tees LOC

Providing support for opticians in the Tees area

[Royal College of Ophthalmologists @RCOphth]

Fantastic to see @MarshadeCordova making the case for investment in eyecare ahead of #Budget2024! Funding for a phased expansion in ophthalmology training places is essential to boost long term capacity alongside investment in the IT infrastructure to support more integrated care

[Marsha de Cordova @MarshadeCordova]

Ahead of the Spring Budget next week, I have written to the Chancellor to urge him to increase investment in eye health care.

The Govt must take urgent action to tackle the eye health emergency.

More funding in the NHS for eye health will reduce the backlogs, prevent avoidable sight loss, and ensure the delivery of good quality eye health care that everyone can access, when and where they need it.

[NTW LOC @LocNtw]

NTWLOC have been at #NENCMECC raising awareness of including optometry and good eyesight in conversations. There were some great discussions around digital literacy, personalised care, and people with additional needs. @StephanieCair20 @LOCSU @TeesLoc @NENC_NHS @LocDurham

Proud to be an #Optometrist on #WorldOptometryDay Expanding the scope of eyecare delivered locally.

[Zoe Richmond @ZoeZoerichmond]

Annual economic cost of sight loss:£38 billion!!!!!
But up to 50% of sight loss is avoidable.
Investment in primary eyecare will improve access, support for self-care, earlier identification and treatment. Working in partnership with #ophthalmology #optometry

@CollegeOptomUK We also get a number of patients who have been certified without a recent sight test who have been registered sight impaired but then when they get an updated pair of glasses they are better than the driving standard...
