Get to know our ACES Team: Q&A with Ian Smith, NHS Partnership Executive for ACES Newcastle

We had a chat with our NHS Partnership Executive, Ian Smith, who manages our ACES relationships in the Newcastle area. Having joined the business in January 2024, Ian is dedicated to helping ACES in providing the highest standard of care to NHS patients.

  • Why did you choose a career at ACES?

ACES is the whole package for NHS patients – we offer shorter waiting times from referral to treatment, state of the art facilities, expert ophthalmic surgeons and 24/7 access to experienced clinicians, resulting in excellent patient satisfaction.

  • Why do you think ACES is a good place to work?

As a team, we look after patients in an exceptional way throughout their whole journey with ACES.

  • What do you enjoy most about your role?

Currently, I’m very intent on helping the business grow in a number of different parts of the UK by engaging with as many influencers of referrals (such as GPs and Optometrists) as possible.
