Introduction to Welsh General Ophthalmic Services (WGOS)
Following legislative changes in 2023, Wales General Ophthalmic Services (WGOS) replaced General Ophthalmic Services (Wales) (GOS[W]), Eye Health Examination Wales (EHEW), Low Vision Services Wales (LVSW), and many various local enhanced service pathways.
To deliver WGOS, each contractor and practitioner must be listed on the Wales Ophthalmic or Administrative list and must have completed WGOS compliance training.
WGOS is a tiered service of eye care, please see below for further information.
It is important for practitioners to note that pathways relating to each WGOS level may vary between health boards.
Information regarding the pathways for each WGOS level in each health board can be found using the buttons below.
