Community Minor and Urgent Eye Care Clinical Specification
The specification aims to:
- Assure, support and enhance access to minor and urgent eye care locally across England
- Support local commissioning
- Improve consistency, reduce unwarranted variation and aims to help relieve capacity pressures in general practice, hospital eye casualty and A&E
