View from Locsu: How to develop eye care

I am pleased to be participating at Optrafair soon on a panel discussing the future of optics. The future optical business model is widely discussed and the panel will be a chance to explore this challenging and ever-changing future.

At Locsu our core aim is to support Local Optical Committees and Primary Eyecare Companies. Our activity and support aim to ensure that they are both engaged in the development of the future, through discussion with the NHS commissioning bodies as well as being able to facilitate a commissionable offer increasingly through large scale primary eyecare companies and engagement with emerging STPs and Integrated Care Systems (ICOs). These discussions are not just about ophthalmic care; increasingly as a sector, we need to define and understand where optometry fits in wider care pathways.
