Specsavers Corporate Eyecare has been awarded the contract to supply the Scottish Prison Service (SPS) with an optical provision for staff. The package comprises of eye examinations, visual display unit spectacles if required, and prescription safety glasses. Specsavers Corporate Eyecare has also agreed to visit each SPS site to further communicate the benefits of their service and to promote health and wellbeing to employees.

SPS is utilising Specsavers Corporate Eyecare’s voucher system. This coupled with an online appointment-booking service has ensured the whole eyecare process is extremely quick and simple for SPS staff to use.

Dona McLafferty, corporate account manager for Specsavers Corporate Eyecare, says: for public sector organisations, transparency is particularly important. We are able to supply SPS with data management reports on a quarterly basis. These highlight service usage and help organisations to see how many people are benefiting from the provision and in which ways.’

It is vital to Specsavers Corporate Eyecare to be able to deliver an optical service of the very highest quality. All staff at SPS are provided with a feedback form regarding their eye examination. This allows for continual improvement of working practices and feedback from both the management and employees at SPS has been very positive.

Ms McLafferty continued: ‘The stringent tendering processes set by SPS means that they work very closely with their suppliers. This is a big advantage when it comes to implementing problem-solving solutions and putting forward news ideas.’
