Referrals can often be sorted by the local Minor Eye Conditions services or you can utilise the Single Point of Access (SPoA) for Inner North East London for more complex conditions.

Patients with an existing appointment beyond this date will have their care transferred to Moorfields.   GP practices will be requested to direct future referrals to Moorfields via the usual referral channels.  To minimise disruption to patients within North East London, Moorfields have agreed that these patients will be under the care of their site in Stratford.

Moorfields will continue to provide an Adult on-call and out of hours service at Homerton Healthcare.  Paediatric and Neonatal Ophthalmology services are unaffected by the change in this arrangement and service provision will continue as agreed.

Please direct appropriate referrals to Minor Eye Conditions services for:
•    Minor Eye Conditions
•    Glaucoma refinement services (repeat measures)
•    Cataract refinement services (pre-assessment)

Please direct referrals to the Moorfields Single Point of Access (SPoA) or refer directly on eRS for more complex conditions.  

More information can be found here:  Single Point of Access that will triage your referral and forward the referral to the appropriate clinic at any provider the patient chooses.

If you have any queries, please contact Tahera Khan, tahera.khan4@nhs.net.
