All the Cheshire PCTs have operated a SL-BIO based Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Service since the mid 1990s. This service  has  now being  replaced by a National Screening Committee compliant Digital Retinal Camera based scheme.

Optometrists with any queries from about Diabetic Retinopathy Screening should contact Lyndon Taylor by e-mail or on   01606 551093... but please be patient...  remember that I do have to  see a few patients as well!

EQA On-line Test Sets

The current test series will run from  April 2011-March 2012. All graders will be required to complete 9 out of 12 sets.

The  new test set  has  more learning content and practitioners can now review their answer against the EQA answer and their peers. This should give more ability to learn from previous sets.
