Eye Health Workforce Service Forecast
Lead: Dr Mike O’Rouke
The forecast group’s vision for the eye health service in New Zealand for 2020 is that ‘eye health services in New Zealand will be based on need, place the consumer at the centre and be integrated at the primary, secondary and tertiary level’.
This vision incorporates a community model of eye health care and is focussed on improving the quality of eye health care services, efficiently utilising the different eye health workforces including the development of innovative roles.
Next Steps
Work is currently underway on establishing demonstration sites for eye health in 2012.
