GP Referrals Focus

Advice and Information - 9 September 2022

‘Because We All Care’ encourages more people to feedback on their care. The next phase of our joint campaign with CQC is planned to start at the end of August. The phase will target people with long term conditions, and we will be taking a specific look at the barriers people face to getting specialist support via their GPs.

Organisations such as ours are aware this has been going on for way too long.

Ophthalmology Patient Survey

Since 2020, the landscape of ophthalmology provision within South East London has changed – with an increased NHS service offering from Independent Sector Providers. SEL ICB are seeking feedback from persons with lived experience about their care pathway within Independent Sector Providers. As such, the ICB has put together an ophthalmology survey for those who have had a procedure at a South East London Independent Sector Provider in the past year. This includes SpaMedica, Community Health and Eyecare and Circle Health Group.

The aim on the survey is to ensure there is a patient voice throughout the future service development work the ICB undertakes, and that any common themes of service improvement can be picked up directly in order to secure delivery of quality care.

If you have had an Ophthalmic procedure, such as cataracts, at a South East London Independent Sector Provider in the last year please could you fill out the following survey:
