Lots

Lot Description: The Welsh General Ophthalmic Services – Low Vision (WGOS-LV), previously known as Low Vision Service Wales is a Welsh Government funded initiative provided in association with approximately 180 accredited optometrists from over 200 optometry practices across the whole of Wales. The service is provided on an All Wales basis and is hosted by Primary Care Services in NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP). WGOS-LV provides low vision assessments through service accredited optometrists. These assessments take place at community-based optometry practices, or occasionally at patients’ homes, and based on the assessments the service may provide patients with appropriate low vision aids. There is no charge to the patient at any stage; effectively the low vision aids are on loan to the patient, and they are returned for recycling when they are no longer required. The aids provided by the service include Hand Magnifiers; Illuminated Hand Magnifiers; Chest Magnifiers; Folding Magnifiers; Stand Magnifiers; Illuminated Stand Magnifiers; Bar Magnifiers; Distance Aids; UV Filters; Lamps; Handheld Electronic Magnifiers; Non-Optical Devices; Assessment Equipment. This Procurement is for the provision of storage and supply of Low Vision Aids, Demonstration Kits, Recycling of Low Vision Aids, and other ancillary items. Full detail on the requirements are set out within the specification of the tender available within eTenderWales.
