The BNSSG Enhanced Imaging Macula Referral Service is a innovative new pathway for referral of patients with a BNSSG GP and requiring a referral for macula pathology to Bristol Eye Hospital. The service is provided by Primary Eyecare Services in partnership with Avon LOC through the Opera IT platform.

A phased mobilsation/go live of the service is underway and will continue through July and August 2024. Practices who have completed the EOI and onboarded to Opera will be contacted by Primary Eyecare service to complete a test episode and, once this is completed successfully, be given the green light to go live.
