Maculopathy LOCSU
This lecture series is designed to complement the LOCSU Maculopathy Referral Filtering and Monitoring pathway. The aim of the series is to build on existing knowledge of maculopathy with an emphasis on monitoring in primary care, referral and treatment pathways and optical coherence tomography (OCT) interpretation. The series aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of case-finding for AMD. For both new and review (wet active) AMD patients, and so improve the speed at which people are diagnosed and treated within the hospital eye service, to help prevent loss of sight, as well as people with a diagnosis of late AMD who require regular monitoring in primary care practice. The course is aimed at optometrists.5 CPD PointsOnline -

Eyecare Services for People with a Learning Disability
People with learning disabilities are much more likely to have eye and vision problems than members of the general population, but they find accessing eye care more difficult because of a range of barriers, including a lack of confidence among clinicians on how to adapt their practice to meet the needs of this patient group. This distance learning online training package contains lectures and MCQs compiled by people with many years of experience in the field. It provides an insight into how learning disability and learning disability is defined, how practice can be adapted and how barriers to service provision, both clinical and non-clinical, can be overcome. Six lectures are CPD accredited and comprise: An introduction to learning disabilities; Making services accessible for people with a learning disability; Prevalence of eye problems in people with a learning disability; Adapting the optometric assessment for people with a learning disability; Adapting dispensing practice when working with people with a learning disability; Reporting and referring. Optometrists, dispensing opticians, and any healthcare professional can access the course.6 CPD PointsOnline -

Hydroxychloroquine LOCSU
This lecture series is designed to complement the LOCSU pathway for people who are taking either Hydroxychloroquine or Chloroquine and require monitoring for retinopathy. Resources have been developed to align with the Royal College of Ophthalmologists recommendations. The aim of this series is to build on existing knowledge of Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine retinopathy with an emphasis on monitoring in primary care. The LOCSU integrated service delivery model is introduced which outlines how monitoring for retinopathy can be delivered, in alignment with the RCOphth Guideline, within an optical practice. The series aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of case-finding for Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine retinopathy, and so improve the speed at which people are diagnosed and referred for treatment to prevent loss of sight. The series is delivered via 2 interactive lectures. The course has been peer reviewed and is aimed at optometrists.2 CPD PointsOnline -

MOLES LOCSU
MOLES. This lecture ‘Assessment and management of fundus lesions: the MOLES system’ is designed to complement the LOCSU Naevus Referral Filtering & Monitoring pathway. The aim is to support the early identification of choroidal melanoma by helping optometrists estimate the likelihood of malignancy in melanocytic choroidal tumours using the MOLES scoring system, to know how to use the LOSCU pathway and to be confident to expedite referral of patients with melanoma. The course is aimed at optometrists.1 CPD PointsOnline
