EeRS Launch
21 September 2023
What is it? EeRS stands for Electonic Eyecare Referral System. We are very excited to announce that Shropshire have been chosen as one of the early adopter regions for the launch of EeRS.
This will make all referrals in Shropshire faster and more reliable, with a direct referral to Ophthalmology. It will also allow a better line of communication between patients, optometrists and ophthalmology – with optometrists being able to see where their patients are in the referral pathway and get feedback from Ophthalmology.
Referrals to be sent through EeRS – all referrals following a sight test (GOS/Private)
Practices are required to complete the onboarding process by clicking the following link to register your interest on the Cinapsis portal: https://6672093.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6672093/Midlands%20Onboarding%20Doc_V1.1.pdf
The role out of EeRS does not affect the current services in place such as MECS, Glaucoma Repeat Measures, Pre/Post Cataract.
