Healthy Living Optical Practice (HLOP)

LOCSU’s Healthy Living Optical Practice (HLOP) Framework is focused on improving the health and wellbeing of the population and is intended to help reduce local health inequalities.

At its simplest level, HLOP involves brief interventions and signposting to appropriate services via conversations supported by leaflets/websites.
