The contract, valued at £190,800, was facilitated by the NHS England National and Commercial Procurement Hub (commissioned from the SCW CSU) on behalf of the Commissioners.

The system aims to improve connectivity between primary care optometry and hospital eye services, enabling trained primary care optometrists to make clinical decisions based on quantitative and imaging clinical data.

It will be available to all Primary Care optometrists and optical practices, eye hospitals, trusts with eye departments, and community eye services across the Mid & South Essex Health and Wellbeing Partnership.
