Scottish optometry stakeholder events
Published on 03 July 2025
As you may be aware, the Scottish Government has recently delivered a series of in-person and online events in partnership with NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), NHS Education for Scotland (NES), Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) and the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI).
The purpose of the events was to both inform and give people the opportunity to ask questions about:
- Changes to General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) in Scotland;
- New payment claim forms for GOS and NHS optical vouchers;
- An update on the new Master’s (with IP) optometry undergraduate degree course.
The events have now concluded, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to all those involved in supporting the events and who attended.
The online event held on Wednesday 2 July 2025 was recorded, and the recording can be accessed by opening the following link: Online Event Recording.
Further detailed information about the above topics will be communicated in due course so please ensure you continue to regularly check your NHS email account.
