Proud to stand with fellow primary care providers in urging the Cabinet Secretary to prioritise sustainable funding for essential services. Together, we can ensure comprehensive eye care for all in Scotland.
🚪Primary care is the front door of the NHS. 🦷Dentists, 🩺GPs, 💊pharmacists and 👓optometrists provide services millions depends on. 📈After the recent Budget, the Scottish Government has a duty to protect providers from a huge hike in costs. Our joint open letter👇

Thank you to our long standing member and colleague Frank Munro for hosting a practice visit with @GordonMcKeeMP today. They had a great chat on eyecare, Frank demonstrated his kit in practice showing some case histories and discussed what can be detected in practice. #eyeweek
