Ophthalmologist workforce report – Staffing pressures highlighted

Ophthalmologist workforce report - Staffing pressures highlighted

Ophthalmologists this is an insightful read that we have for you today. The Royal College of Ophthalmologists 2022 workforce census has found 76% of ophthalmology units to do not have enough consultants.

A 2022 workforce census by The Royal College of Ophthalmologists has revealed staffing pressures alongside concern about the effect of independent providers delivering NHS ophthalmology care.

The reportĀ found that 76% of units do not have enough consultants to meet current patient demand, while around half (52%) of units had found it difficult to recruit consultants over the past year.

To meet demand, 65% of units are using locums to fill consultant vacancies, with 57% of eye units using locums to fill posts for longer than a year.

Of the 632,000 patients on ophthalmology waiting lists in England in January 2023, 24,000 had been waiting for over a year for treatment.
