Moorfields opens diagnostic hub

Moorfields Eye Hospital has opened a diagnostic hub in Hoxton, London in order to allow more patients to be seen in a socially distanced environment.

Opened in a space previously used by commercial offices, the hub takes patients through a series of tests that are completed within 45 minutes.

Results are reviewed online by consultants and patients would then receive follow up details either by post, phone or video call, or at an arranged hospital appointment.

Moorfields said the hub made the patient journey more efficient by reducing the amount of time patients spend in a clinic and the number of overall face to face attendances.
