The national Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (DESP) is an integral part of patients’ diabetes care and involves a regular (usually annual) eye check using a digital photograph of the retina or slit lamp examination if photography is not possible. The primary objective of the programme is to detect referable (potentially sight-threatening) retinopathy so that it can be treated at a stage where the probability of preservation of vision is high. People with diabetes can develop a condition affecting the eyes called retinopathy, which although initially asymptomatic can lead to partial loss of vision and eventual blindness. Research has shown that early detection of sight threatening diabetic retinopathy through screening, and subsequent treatment of those affected by laser photocoagulation, can substantially reduce the risk of visual loss.
- To engage with patients on the telephone who are on the routine digital screening pathway and who have not attended a routine digital screening event in the last 3 years.
- To have an understanding of Key Performance Indicators, tracking uptake of appointments, timescale between patients’ screening encounter and the issue of results letter, timescale of referral into acute trusts and the number of patients who have not been screened within the last 3 years. These are monitored through the bespoke Optomise software within the Diabetic Eye Screening Programme.
- To engage in new and established engagement strategies and projects to ensure service equality in a wide diversity of patient cohorts, especially hard to reach groups
- To engage with people with diabetes associated with inequalities and poor uptake in screening, with a view to raising awareness in these groups and promoting uptake in order to reduce sight threatening eye disease.
