| Author Short CV(s) : |
Frank Munro is a practising community optometrist with a small group of practices in the Glasgow area.
He is co-founder of the Glasgow Integrated Eyecare Service (GIES), established in 2002 to improve community eyecare services in Glasgow. This novel model of delivery has facilitated the willing collaboration of all stakeholders including general practitioners, ophthalmologists and optometrists in a review and overhaul of the provision of eyecare services. This innovative delegated care project allows for effective, safe and efficient management of most primary eyecare problems within the community setting improving the quality of care and reducing unnecessary referral to the acute sector.
One specific benefit has been the utilisation of community optometrists within a triage role, and the efficient, timely care & treatment for patients presenting with acute eye problems, with direct referral to the acute sector as necessary.
He served on the National Eyecare Services Steering Group (Department of Health) and chaired the Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) working group that led to the development of a new and innovative care pathway for patients with ARMD.
He served on the Scottish Community Eyecare Review body that published their finding in December 2006. This included an overall review of General Ophthalmic Services, recommendations for the development of model eyecare pathways, a re-design of services for people living with visual impairment and the introduction of Level 2 Optometry in Scotland.
In 2007 and he was awarded an Honorary Life Fellowship by the College of Optometrists for his services to optometry.
He is a co-author on the SIGN Guideline review group for diabetic retinopathy and is currently contributing to the Cochrane Review for ‘Stroke and Vision’.
He has completed the 3-module course for independent prescribing at Glasgow Caledonian University with a view to completing the College exam later in 2010.
As a member of the OS Executive he has worked with the Scottish Government to help implement universal GOS eyecare for all in Scotland.
He is a Past President of the College of Optometrists.
He Is Immediate Past Chairman of Optometry Scotland.
He is Chairman of the NHS Education Scotland (NES) Advisory Group for Optometry.
