Vision 2020 hosts integrated care event

Key healthcare bodies last week debated how visually impaired patients can have a more seamless transition from primary care to rehabilitation.

Vision 2020 UK last week hosted an integrated care event in London, in collaboration with ADASS (The Association of Directors of Adult Social Services) and NHS England. The umbrella organisation brought together senior representatives from health, social care and the voluntary sector for the event in London.

Chris Naylor (pictured), senior fellow health policy at the King’s Fund, said: ‘Supporting people affected by sight loss in a more joined up way is an important challenge that will require close working between the NHS, social care and eye health charities. The work that Vision 2020 UK and others are doing in this area shows a real commitment to bringing about improvements.’
