Community Ophthalmic Link
Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Gloucestershire Hospital Eye Services (HES) and the LOC have partnered with Blueworks Ophthalmic Imaging Management Solutions to develop and implement the Community Ophthalmic Link (COL) project. OphthalSuite technology allows community optometrists to securely view a patient’s secondary care eye health records held by Gloucestershire NHSFT in real time. A pilot project has demonstrated the benefit of this for improving decision-making around referrals and general patient management.
The COL has now been rolled out countywide. Support is available with any queries. Please see the dedicated COL support email and phone number (see below).
We encourage your practice to join to access the benefits that the COL can bring for your patient management.
