Proposed Norfolk and Waveney Glaucoma Service Pathway

In addition and for information only
GIRFT AMD Pathway

The aim of this service is to provide Ophthalmology services across Norfolk and Waveney, The Commissioners are keen to receive feedback on any aspect of the proposed service
specifications and pathways included. We are particularly interested in if
you believe the proposed services are workable in practice, if you agree with the inclusion
criteria and exclusion criteria for all potential providers (particularly for medical retina), and
if you feel the proposed services meet the needs of the local population.
The overarching ophthalmology service specification (Document A) outlines the expectations
for any consultant-led Eye Care service and must be read in conjunction with the relevant
subspecialty service specifications (Document B & D).
The intention of Norfolk & Waveney ICB is to commission these services via provider
accreditation in line with the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award B for both NHS and
Independent Sector providers.
The aim of this Expression of Interest is to;
1. provide the market with visibility of the proposed opportunity;
2. support the ICB decision making to inform the future commissioning of services (as applicable);
3. to help define the future service approach, model and timelines;
4. to gauge the level of interest from the market of capable providers with capacity across the region to deliver the services noted above.
