Sixty Second Interviews
Reconfigure your services to relieve the bottlenecks, deliver quality and optimise capacity
This one day conference has been designed to give you the opportunity to share, learn and take away the tools you need to reconfigure to deliver your enhanced ophthalmology service.
Your ophthalmology service is under pressure, how are you responding to:
- Increased demand? Increased pressure on services being caused by NICE Glaucoma Guidelines
- Calls for more streamlined service models? How will you find the resources to implement innovative structures with already stretched capacity?
- Strain on your resources? Overcome workforce shortages and relieved bottlenecks
- Migration of Services into the Community? How are commissioners going to progress community services and what impact will this have on your service?
Don’t miss out on this unique insight into the latest changes, exchange best practice, listen to innovative case studies and network with your peers.

Take away solutions to your key questions from this conference:
What management improvement tools can help you stay ahead and improve efficiency?
With increasing pressures being placed on ophthalmology services, you need to develop a suite of service improvement tools to keep at your disposal and help you stay on top of the increasing demand. Attend this conference to learn how trusts are re-designing their patient pathways in order to improve patient flow. Embrace good demand management techniques to better organise your capacity and face the cost pressures being placed on services head on by proactively adopting the principles of QIPP.
How can you remodel your service structures to relieve the bottlenecks?
Integrating models such as nurse led services and one-stop solutions have been well established across a range of areas in the NHS, but how can you apply them to ophthalmology? And more importantly, in the face of the unabated strain on capacity, how do you get over the short term pain of implementing new models to realise the long terms gains? This is your chance to hear how other trusts have overcome these hurdles and forged ahead to deliver new models of service. Gain a practical insight on how to achieve one-stop clinics and learn how nurse led clinics are forging ahead to achieve dramatic improvements in patient flow.
How can you target your resources better to achieve improved patient flow?

How will you respond to calls for your ophthalmology services to move into the community?
Attend this conference and start the ball rolling by putting more long term plans into place. This conference is the ideal opportunity to formulate your strategy and position yourself to benefit from the migration of services into the community, rather than get left behind.
