Northwest Electronic eyecare Referral Service (EeRS) Project
We have now held our online webinar engagement event in Cheshire and Merseyside. We had a fantastic turnout and would like to thank all those who registered and attended the event.
In previous communications we stated that this event would be recorded and available to all. Please see link to the event below.
Following on from this, we have gathered questions from the event and put together a FAQ section on the on-line training tool which you can access via the link below:
https://e-referral.education/frequently-asked-questions-following-engagement-events/
Although phase 1 of the project is now complete, we continually strive to work on encouraging all practices to get involved and onboard and continue to support those practices that already have, and who have made this project the success that it is!
As you will see from the event, and as mentioned in previous communications, phase 2 of the project will involve the introduction of advice and guidance via ADVISR. Please keep a look out for further communications regarding this exciting implementation!
If you have not yet onboarded, please follow the links below which will provide all the details you need to onboard:
