The Accuracy of GP Referrals into Manchester Royal Eye Hospital Orthoptic Department.

This study found orthoptic referral accuracy for GPs in Manchester to be similar to other areas of medicine. While acceptable compared to other areas of medicine, improving referral accuracy is essential to improve NHS spending, service delivery, and patient experience. To aid with this the aim is to design and implement a virtual training package that focuses on detection of strabismus to improve referral accuracy.
