02/ The brief

What the notice says

Not fully read: this is the notice text; attached documents are not read.

Sight testing models vary across the UK. Technology is evolving and models are developing where parts of the sight test are carried out remotely from the patient and sometimes different elements are carried out by different people in different places and/or at different times.

We are seeking clinical and regulatory expert advice to:

1) develop a risk-based framework to understand the risks of the different elements of a sight test not being carried out at the same time, by the same person and/or in the same place; and

2) identify possible viable methodologies considering factors like cost, time and sampling considerations that would test the risk-based framework in a real-world situation with patients.

Please send tenders and direct any questions to Marie Bunby (Policy Manager) by email to mbunby@optical.org

The deadline for tenders is 10am on 2 November 2023.
