Accreditation
MECS, Pre/Post Cataract and Glaucoma Repeat Measures are provided by accredited Optometrists via the CHEC portal. If you wish to gain accreditation please contact cpd@shropshireloc.co.uk to gain WOPEC codes. Once the accreditation has been completed then the practice must be registered with CHEC to provide these services.
Cataract Pathways
There are now two enhanced cataract pathways in place for Shropshire, cataract referral refinement and post-cataract follow-up.
If you would like your practice to be part of these schemes, please email cpd@shropshireloc.co.uk the practice name and address and optometrists’ personal email addresses.
