The LOC has been made aware of the following resources via medicines optimisation and the anti-microbial resistance committee:
- Patient-facing information on ‘looking after your eyes’ and conjunctivitis:
https://www.lancashireandsouthcumbria.icb.nhs.uk/looking-after-your-eyes-campaign
This encourages self-care and pharmacy for low-grade infections but encourages a visit to the optometrist in specific circumstances.
- Intranet resource for healthcare workers – professional resources/references and links to information for patients.
