NHS Frimley ICB ("the Commissioner") sought to commission provision to provide an Ophthalmology- Eye Casualty Service

The integrated model of service between the provider and the Eye Casualty Unit has been designed to optimise an efficient and effective patient journey and to ensure that only patients who would benefit from a higher level of expertise are retained within Eye Casualty. Patients who could be managed by a suitable trained optician with prescribing qualifications by a primary care provider are redirected to the co-located Primary Eye Care Clinic for assessment/treatment. It will also provide contingency capacity for Eye Casualty review patients. The provider delivers specialist eye care for patients needing urgent attention, who are deemed, at triage, to be suitable to be seen by a primary care provider and be based within the King Edward VII Hospital. Through better integration of services and timeliness of treatment, the integrated eye casualty service aims to reduce the need for emergency-based intervention and provide better care and services to patients.
