LOCSU is the Local Optical Committee Support Unit, supporting Local Optical Committees (LOCs) in England across a range of activities relating to primary eye care. Our work includes policy work and lobbying, pathway development, commissioning support, governance and compliance support, communication and training.
We drive innovative thinking about present and future opportunities and challenges within the primary eye care sector, to meet the changing needs of LOCs. Our role as an eye health innovator sees us work in collaboration with a wide range of partners across the optical and wider health sectors to enhance and promote the role of LOCs and primary eye care among health decision makers.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 NOC was a virtual event with a series of daytime and evening sessions taking place via Zoom conferencing from Wed 25 Nov to Thur 3 Dec.
LOCSU would like to thank all presenters and everyone who watched and participated in the Virtual NOC 2020. Thanks also go to the AOP for their help in organising the event.
