Since 2020, the landscape of ophthalmology provision within South East London has changed – with an increased NHS service offering from Independent Sector Providers. SEL ICB are seeking feedback from persons with lived experience about their care pathway within Independent Sector Providers. As such, the ICB has put together an ophthalmology survey for those who have had a procedure at a South East London Independent Sector Provider in the past year. This includes SpaMedica, Community Health and Eyecare and Circle Health Group.

The aim on the survey is to ensure there is a patient voice throughout the future service development work the ICB undertakes, and that any common themes of service improvement can be picked up directly in order to secure delivery of quality care.
