As the population ages, the incidence, prevalence and burden of eye disease is set to augment and with many eye diseases chronic in nature this means lifelong management. As diagnostic tests become more sophisticated and easier to administer and with the development of new treatments demand for eye care services is increasing. Current changes in health service provision, predicated by re-organisation and the need for efficiencies and service re-design, are such that certain services and specialties will see major change in the delivery of care. Ophthalmology is a specialty which is suitable for the relocation of a large proportion of work from secondary to primary and community care, and the recent emphasis on providing care in settings more convenient and accessible to patients has provided an additional incentive to develop and expand these services ### Additional information: How to apply For further information about this service, to access the service specifications for this service and to apply to provide this Any Qualified Provider service please visit [nhsssourcing.co.uk](https://www.nhsssourcing.co.uk) Suppliers Instructions How to Express Interest in this Tender~: - Register your company on the eSourcing portal (this is only required once) - Browse to the eSourcing Portal: [nhssourcing.co.uk](https://www.nhssourcing.co.uk) and click the link to register - Accept the terms and conditions and click 'continue' - Enter your correct business and user details - Note the username you chose and click 'Save' when complete - You will shortly receive an email with your unique password (please keep this secure) - Express an Interest in the tender - Login to the portal with the username/password - Click the 'PQQs / ITTs Open To All Suppliers' link.
