Optometry workforce

To improve optometry workforce issues, we aim to:

  • map the optometry and ophthalmic workforce in community and secondary care in Wales
  • produce a five-year workforce plan for optometry and the ophthalmic workforce in Wales which provides a baseline for the plan and measures milestones
  • produce an implementation plan to support the workforce plan.

It focuses on reducing hospital referrals, managing more patients in primary care, and supporting the role of optometrists through targeted qualifications and placements.
