The Diabetic Eye Screening Programme provides annual screening to detect diabetic retinopathy for diabetic patients aged 12 and above. There are 9 sites across Northamptonshire.

Our community teams carry out retinal eye screening checks to establish if patients have diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina of the eye). They will refer patients for treatment where appropriate. The service operates a fast track referral system for patients with sight-threatening retinopathy for treatment.

In addition, the service will report any other eye conditions to the Hospital Eye Services at Kettering General Hospital and Northampton General Hospital.

Our team is led by a specialist doctor in ophthalmology and consists of experienced screeners, grader and healthcare staff. We work closely with hospital eye services in Northamptonshire to ensure that diabetic patients with retinopathy are managed promptly.

Who is this service for? We see all diabetic patients registered with GPs aged 12 and up for screening every 12 months, or more frequently if the condition requires more monitoring.
