Lambeth Southwark & Lewisham Local Optical Committee is the Statutory Body that represents contractors and performers providing general ophthalmic services in the three boroughs.  Welcome to our website - we hope you find it useful.  Please let us have any comments (positive and negative) - contact us.

THE NEXT MEETING OF THE LOCAL OPTICAL COMMITTEE WILL BE HELD AT SKINKERS WINE BAR, 42 TOOLEY STREET, SE1 2SZ  ON TUESDAY 20TH MARCH AT 6.30PM. 

Lewisham Glaucoma Referral Refinement Scheme
We have been working with the Lewisham Commissioning Board with the aim of setting up a Glaucoma Referral Refinement Scheme, to begin on 1st April.  For this to work effectively we need the majority of Lewisham Contractors to participate. All Lewisham Contractors should have received a letter by now asking for expressions of interest.  A copy can be downloaded from the LOC Document Library page.  We would be grateful if you could complete and return the slip on the letter by Friday 13th January.  You can fax your response to 0871 661 6532 or, alternatively, email your answers to Michelle Martins at michelle@jclconsulting.co.uk.
 
Enhanced Service Schemes
We have been asked to remind all Contractors that if you are currently in the Cataract Direct Referral scheme or Glaucoma Referral Refinement Scheme, but no longer wish to participate, you must contact Optometric Advisor, Sue Leighter at s.leighter@nhs.net.

A summary of the last LOC meeting will shortly be uploaded on the previous meetings page.
