Safety recommendation
It is recommended that the Royal College of Ophthalmologists agree criteria for the risk stratification of patients with glaucoma so that practice can be standardised across NHS hospital eye services.
Response:
The RCOphth and UKEGS the glaucoma specialist society have written and are about to jointly publish a new glaucoma risk stratification tool, Glauc-FAST Strat. We are just agreeing the final wording tweak between the two organisations and expect that to emerge in the next few weeks. We have also drafted together further document on how that relates to professionals, settings and qualifications to allow the risk stratification criteria to be easily translated into clinical practice across eye care services.
