Abstract

The demand for eye care is ever on the increase with an aging population and a reduction of funding for public services. Often local fund holders are looking for more efficient methods of delivering good quality eye care. As a result it is not uncommon for local Trusts to enter into agreements with local ophthalmic service providers and formulate shared care schemes. Are these schemes necessary and are they financially viable? Independent prescribing of therapeutic drugs in primary eye care practice is one specialised service that has come about to try and reduce the burden on the hospital eye service.
