Share your thoughts on Diabetic eye screening service
The Diabetic Eye Screening Service value your feedback and want to offer a service that provides a positive experience for all our patients. Our focus is improving the delivery of patient centred care.
In 2019, Aintree University Hospital and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals merged to become Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (LUHFT). At the time of the merger both hospitals had established and well-regarded Diabetic Eye Screening Programmes. However, now that we are one Trust it makes sense that we have one screening programme.
There are lots of benefits in having a single screening programme. Bringing the services together gives us a unique opportunity to gain experience from each other, take the best bits of each service, and build a better screening programme. However, we would like to reassure you that you will still be seen by the same Team and there will be no change to the screening process.
For our patients, it means that we can offer equitable access to a wider range of community venues and improve our links with hospital eye services. This may also reduce the time between screening and treatment for those patients who need it.
Coming together also gives us a chance to look at where we have duplication in the system and in the way that we communicate, screen, grade, refer, and recall our patients. Our aim is to merge both Diabetic Eye Screening Programmes by 31st August 2023.
