Remote Operating Support for LOCs

17 March 2020

As the situation with the Coronavirus continues to evolve, LOCSU has been investigating ways to support LOCs to operate remotely, particularly with regard to upcoming AGMs.

LOCSU will be able to support all LOCs to meet via the use of Microsoft Teams. The Optical Leads team will be able to support LOCs regionally and at no additional cost to the LOC. A member of the team will contact each LOC to discuss the options and help support next steps.

For your reference, the LOCSU Optical Leads are:

• East of England: Binal Patel
• London: Richard Rawlinson
• Midlands: Richard Rawlinson
• North East/Yorkshire/Derbyshire: Nizz Sabir; Zoe Richmond
• North West: Tom Mackley
• South East: Helen Haslett; Max Halford; Richard Rawlinson
• South West: Max Halford; Amar Shah; Helen Haslett

LOCs should continue to monitor NHS & Government websites for up to date information on Coronavirus:

• https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/20200305-COVID-19-PRIMARY-CARE-SOP-OPTICAL-PUBLICATION-V1.1.pdf

In addition, LOCSU will continue to communicate information as the situation evolves.
