As an Optician/Dispensing Optician please complete the Form and liaise with the designated Senior Responsible Officer (SRO) for your practice, who should then:
1. Check your details are correct, all sections of the form are completed and authorise the form.
2. Send the authorised form back to NWSSP-PCS for verification via – nwssp-primarycareservices@wales.nhs.uk (please do not reply directly to myself).
Please note, in order to receive an NHS email address, as an Optician you need to be included on the NHS Combined Ophthalmic List in Wales.
If you are a Dispensing Optician, your employer must have added your name to the NHS Wales Ophthalmic Administrative List. You can check if you are listed on the Administrative List via Wales Eye Care Services Administrative List Search – NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership.
If you are a Dispensing Optician and your name needs to be added onto the Administrative List, your employer can do this via Add, Amend or Remove a Dispensing Optician on the Wales Eye Care Services Administrative List – NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership.
Once your authorised form has been received, and relevant checks undertaken, your SRO will be contacted further, within 10 working days, with details of your username and email address, together with multi-factor authentication instructions.
If your enquiry is regarding NHS email addresses for Administrators/Managers within the practice (who are not registered Opticians or Dispensing Opticians) you should contact the Primary Care Services Team of DHCW via Optometry.ICT@wales.nhs.uk.
