LOCSU leadership joined organisations from across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland at an enriching Five Nations meeting in Edinburgh this January.
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.
LOCSU have this morning shared the latest edition of the bulletin, packed with useful information for LOCs and important signposting.
