Leading the clinical development of new models of optometric care
We want to ensure that:
- optometrists are at the heart of new models of eye care introduced across the UK
- new models of care are based on our clinical guidelines and good practice
- new technology developments benefit shared and enhanced care pathways and are developed to good and consistent standards.
The College will achieve this by:
- supporting optometrists in providing more enhanced and shared eye care services
- working with national health services and governments across the UK to ensure that:
- clinical pathways, guidance and standards are based on College guidance and clinical advice
- the value of optometrist-led services is recognised
- maximise the positive impact of innovation and technology for patients.
