Locsu data collection project to convince commissioners

Locsu's data collection project for community eye services will help LOCs win more contracts with commissioners, practitioners have been told.

A working model of Locsu’s new national data repository project was unveiled to NOC delegates in Birmingham earlier this month.

The project was designed to provide a persuasive evidence base for commissioners on the effectiveness of community eye health services. The opening session on the second day of the NOC was dedicated to the theme of data.

A prototype for the project was described in a presentation delivered jointly by Locsu’s head of policy Richard Knight and Trevor Warburton, chair of Locsu’s clinical advisory group.
