Some GP practices across Surrey, but also Sussex and Kent are being affected by IT issues.

This is causing problems with the stability of the internet connection. So this may, at times, affect our practice and our access to our clinical systems causing delays.

Please keep any appointments you already have, unless we contact you directly. If your query is urgent, please call the practice as normal.

Diabetic eye screening is an important part of diabetes care and helps protect your sight. Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in the eyes, leading to a condition called diabetic retinopathy, which can cause vision loss if not detected early. Screening checks for early signs before you notice any changes, meaning treatment can start sooner and help prevent serious damage.

If you have diabetes and are aged 12 or over, you will usually be invited for screening every 1–2 years. The test is quick and involves taking photographs of the back of your eyes to check for any changes.

Attending your screening appointment can:
β€’ Detect problems early before symptoms develop πŸ‘οΈβœ¨
β€’ Help prevent or reduce sight loss πŸ’™πŸ©Ί
β€’ Support long-term eye health as part of your diabetes care πŸŒΏπŸ“Š

Even if your vision feels fine, it’s important to attend when invited. πŸ’™βœ¨
