Ophthalmology

Add to CPD Start a discussion

If a patient presents with a minor eye condition, please consider referring to the Minor Eye Condition Service. The service is optometrist-led and has 5 locations across City and Hackney.

Please note that from Thursday 2nd January 2025 the Optometrist Referral Review Service (ORRS) pathway will be closed and City & Hackney GPs will not be able to refer into this service.  City & Hackney GPs can refer into the single point of access hosted by Moorfields Hospital where community optometrists and GPs can send referrals directly to nelondonicb.eyerefer@nhs.net via nhs mail, which routes the referral to the patient’s preferred hospital under choice for triage if they need to be seen for a condition that does not fall under minor eye conditions. More information can be found here: Single Point of Access - Moorfields Eye Hospital

Advice & Guidance

Moorfields A&E Advice Line

Moorfields A&E now has a dedicated advice line for local GPs. This is for clinical advice from A&E medical staff only. It would be helpful if GPs would telephone prior to sending patients as many patients may be more appropriately referred onto a different clinic or pathway.
