Hydroxychloroquine Screening Service
Service
Locality: Mid Hampshire, South West
Type of Care: Secondary
Hampshire ICS has commissioned a HCQ screening service for all patients with a GP in Hampshire. The service is delivered at four locations in Hampshire:
– Cumberland House in Southampton
– Basepoint Business Centre in Basingstoke
– Sunnyside Medical Centre in Portsmouth
– Mill Court Business Centre In IOW
Please see pathway guide – here
The pathway does not include community optometry. As such, if you discover during routine consultation that a patient is taking HCQ but does not appear to be aware of the screening service, please notify their GP highlighting this and requesting the rheumatology / dermatology department refer into the screening service.
The Local Optical Committee (LOC) does not recommend referring directly into the service.
