Published on 12 Aug 2019

by Peter Turner. The Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Referral Service have recently extended their scope to include Ophthalmology. This service will be run as a pilot until April 2020. Avon LOC understands the service applies to routine and urgent Optometry referrals sent via the patients GP. The service does not include emergency referrals to A&E/emergency departments and suspect wet AMD faxed referrals to Bristol Eye Hospital medical retina service. Please continue referring patients to their GP as you currently do.
