👁️🌍 World Sight Day 2025: Love Your Eyes 🌍👁️
This year’s theme, “Love Your Eyes,” reminds us that eye care should be accessible, available, and affordable for everyone, everywhere .

💡Diabetic eye screening is a free NHS service for anyone living with diabetes aged 12 and over. Regular screening helps detect problems early and keeps your eyes healthy.

📅 If you have a screening appointment — don’t miss it. Your eyes deserve the best care.

🎉 We’re proud to share that NEC Care was a finalist in the Picker Experience Network (PEN) Awards under the category Support for Caregivers, Friends and Family! 🏆

Our nominated project focuses on supporting service users with diabetes and a learning disability, along with their carers, ensuring compassionate and inclusive care.

The awards ceremony took place last Thursday (2nd October) at the University of Birmingham, and it was an inspiring celebration of innovation and dedication in healthcare. 💙

Thank you to everyone involved — your hard work and commitment continue to make a real difference. 🙌
