OW spoke to 8 Members of Senedd and 1 Member of Parliament about the NHS Services provided by optometry practices in Wales and specifically raised attention to WGOS2 services and asked for political support in promoting optometry services to their constituents to increase the awareness of the general public of the services provided.
OW also raised awareness of some of the challenges being faced by practices particularly in comparison to other parts of primary care including the need for both a workforce and digital strategy.
