MECS LOCSU
Minor Eye Conditions Service Pathway (MECS): MECS accredited practitioners will be able to provide a prompt assessment of a patient presenting with an acute eye condition. As many patients as possible will have their management maintained within the primary care setting, thus avoiding unnecessary referrals to hospital services. Where referral to secondary care is required it will be to a suitable specialist with appropriate urgency. This on-line course is also suitable for the practitioner who wishes to refresh their knowledge to participate in a locally commissioned urgent eyecare service (CUES).
Seven theoretical training lectures and MCQs covering the following topics: Red eye; Flashes and floaters; Age-related macular degeneration Parts 1 and 2; Cornea and corneal foreign bodies; Sudden loss of vision; Dry eye in optometric practice. These lectures are aimed at the optometrist.
