Dear Practice/Practitioner,
We are pleased to inform you that practices and practitioners can now amend appointment dates for Post Cataract, Integrated Children’s Service, Glaucoma Monitoring, Pre Cataract Referral Services, MECS and Post Vision Screening referrals. This means that if a patient’s appointment needs to be rearranged, the updated date can be recorded and reflected on the system.
This update has been introduced to improve reporting quality and give practices and head offices a more accurate overview of outstanding appointments.
Further guidance on how to update these appointments is attached here: Changing referral appointment dates – OPERA
If you have any additional questions or require any further support, please contact the team at hello@referral.support.
Kind regards,
Primary Eyecare Services
