🌙 Ramadan Mubarak from the Kent & Medway DESP!

As Ramadan begins, we wish all who are observing a peaceful and blessed month.

If you’re living with diabetes, this is also an important time to look after your eye health. Attending your diabetic eye screening is essential in protecting your vision.

Most Islamic scholars agree that the use of eye drops at your appointment does not break the fast, and may mean not having to recall you for another appointment

Ramadan Mubarak to you and your loved ones 🌙✨

Its that time again - Feedback Fridayyy 🎉💙

For some people, screening moves to every two years when their last two results show no signs of diabetic retinopathy, meaning it’s safe to wait a little longer while still protecting their sight - If you have any concerns or questions call our Patient Engagement Centre on 01233 880000.

Thanks to Michael for helping patients understand these changes and feel supported at their appointment. 💙👁️ Thankyou Michael ☺️

Your vision matters.

If you have diabetes, you will be regularly invited for diabetic eye screening.

Screening is important because when eye problems are caught early, they can be treated more effectively, before you notice changes to your sight.

Our Kent and Medway diabetic eye screening team were delighted to welcome David Selling from NHS England (South East Region) just before Christmas, at our brand-new Diabetic Eye Screening venue in Ashford.

A big thank you to David for taking the time to visit and to our dedicated team for supporting the set up of this new venue!
