We are pleased to announce the introduction of 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆 (𝗢𝗖𝗧) technology within our service, commencing on 25 July 2025.

This advanced imaging technique provides high-resolution, cross-sectional views of the eye, enabling more precise monitoring and diagnosis of retinal conditions.
OCT scans will be offered exclusively to patients requiring more frequent screening and will be available at our clinics in Crewe, Chester, and Macclesfield. Eligible individuals will be invited accordingly.

We’re Short on Drivers — Could You Spare an Hour or Two here at Alsager Community Support

Every Tuesday and Thursday, we help local people get to the Civic lunch club — a lifeline for many who can’t get there on their own. It’s more than just a meal. It’s laughter, conversation, old friends reunited and new friendships made.

Right now, we’re short on volunteer drivers. Two of our brilliant team have had to step back temporarily, which means other volunteers are covering most of the shifts. They’ve been amazing — but it’s a lot. And it’s not sustainable long-term.

So if you live in or near Alsager, have a bit of free time during the week, and like the idea of helping people connect (and meeting some great people yourself), we’d love to hear from you.
