The Birkdale Clinic

The Birkdale Clinic was established in 1993 as The Birkdale Clinic of Ophthalmology, when GP fund-holding scheme made it possible for private hospitals to treat NHS patients. The clinic initially focused solely on providing fully comprehensive ophthalmic services. This most innovative service in a virtual setting was the brainchild of Dr. Promod Bhatnagar, a Member of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists.
