The service will provide proactive and reactive emotional and practical support for patients with an eye condition and their carers. This will include outpatient support, inpatient support to the care of the elderly (COTE) wards and community support within the Forest of Dean. Access to appropriate support and information at the point of diagnosis is denied to many visually impaired people largely through difficulties in accessing information, mobility and knowledge of their rights. The ECLO service aims to ensure these barriers are overcome. The ECLO service is a key component to ensuring that each person receives appropriate emotional and practical support, information and services, at the earliest opportunity. Offering this service is an integral part of the patient journey from ophthalmology to social care and community support. Each element of the service will be fully integrated with the patient pathway and will work closely with both hospital and community staff to undertake the following:  Providing Emotional support  Information-giving / signposting  Advocacy  Identification of need  Development of Referrals pathways, professional relationships/networks  Information and Education on Certification and registration  Monitoring and follow up of patient progress  Input into MDT  Daily living skills and sighted guiding  Record keeping  Evaluation and impact measurement NHS Gloucestershire CCG is seeking to enter into a contract with the preferred bidder for an initial period of 3-years with an option to extend for a further 2-year period.
