National Physiological Science Data Collections

A development of data collection 'workbooks' to enable national data collection is now underway. From these collections, benchmarked analysis will inform service transformation, capacity modelling and workforce redesign.  From the 8th April to 3rd May 2024, the OVS data collection will be open, further information can be found: FutureNHS Collaboration Platform - FutureNHS Collaboration Platform once registered.  A national webinar was hosted by the national team on the 21^st of March, during which the team provided a technical walk through of the collection and answered questions raised by NHS trusts.  A copy of the recording and the Q&A document is available Ophthalmic and Vision Science Data Collection.

Registration is now open for the annual conference of the UK Eye Genetics Group on Monday 10th June 2024 in Liverpool.

This year, the meeting will be chaired by Ms Neeru Vallabh (Consultant Ophthalmologist, Liverpool University Hospital Foundation Trust and Senior Clinical Lecturer, University of Liverpool). Hosted at The Spine building, Royal College of Physicians, in the beautiful city of Liverpool.

The Improving Quality in Physiological Services (IQIPS) scheme is a professionally led accreditation managed scheme delivered by UKAS.  The IQIPS scheme aims to improve services, care and safety for patients undergoing physiological tests, examinations and procedures. UKAS accreditation for IQIPS offers the benefits of  national recognition to the service with a badge of quality.  

On the 27th October, BriSCEV will be welcoming a UKAS representative alongside our OVS assessors, with the hope to gain a better understanding of how to get started, what is involved and how we can share best practice in the vision science discipline.
