Survey: Help Retina UK Understand the Challenges Around Referring Patients to Third Sector Organisations

2 October 2023

Retina UK

 

Charity Retina UK, which supports people with inherited sight loss, is conducting a Professionals Project aiming to improve the overall patient experience and outcomes by working more closely with health and social care professionals.

They are undertaking a short survey asking key professionals in the eye health care sector to inform them of barriers to referral and are particularly seeking responses from Dispensing Opticians and Optometrists.

Complete the survey and you’ll also have the chance to win a £50 Amazon voucher.

Additionally, Retina UK is seeking to conduct focus groups with each of the key professions to follow up from the survey. If your LOC would be interested in hosting a 20-minute focus group please contact Alexandra Pitts, Professional Project Lead, Retina UK.
