Newmedica chooses Leeds for fourth centre

Leeds is home to Newmedica’s fourth eye health clinic and surgical centre which will accept referrals from local optometrists and GP under a framework for post cataract agreed with the Local Optical Committee Support Unit (Locsu)

The St Martins House Medical Centre based unit provides NHS and private ophthalmology including cataract surgery and glaucoma treatment, in a non-hospital environment. The arrangement with local optometrists and GPs enables speedy referral and appointment availability for patients said Newmedica. The agreement between Newmedica and Locsu (Optician p.6 04.05.18) also ensures that patients are returned to the care of their local optometrists for aftercare following surgery.
