🎉Testimonial Tuesday 🎉

''The whole team from appointment, initial contact in hospital, reception, pre screen eye drops to the actual screening was superb. When you consider the negative reporting that the NHS gets, this confirms my thoughts that it’s still the envy of the world. Thank you.''

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback after their appointment!

Your participation in completing the survey means the world to us.

A special thank you to Sutton Vision inviting us to engage with service users as part of their National Eye Health Week activities. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect directly with the community and raise awareness around the importance of eye health.

We’re especially grateful to our Communications Officer and our incredible Programme Manager, for delivering an engaging and informative presentation. Their insights into diabetic eye screening, and more specifically diabetic retinopathy, provided valuable knowledge that sparked thoughtful discussion and insightful questions.

Thank you to everyone involved!
