Arden, Herefordshire & Worcestershire Diabetic Eye Screening Programme

02/10/2025

Just wrapped up an amazing Welcome Week event at the University of Warwick! 🎉 It was fantastic meeting so many wonderful people and getting to spread the word about diabetic eye screening. 👁️💙

Great conversations with students and staff!
Some eye-opening (no pun intended) questions about why screening matters.

Remember: diabetic eye screening is an important part of staying healthy. It detects issues within the eyes early and can protect your sight. If you’d like more information or need to book your screening please call 01905 896333 or email AHWEngagement@inhealthgroup.com

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and big shout-out to the organisers for such a warm welcome week! 🙌

This week is Armed Forces Week and tomorrow we recognise Armed Forces Day. Both occasions are a time for the UK to come together and show support for everyone who makes up the Armed Forces community, past and present. It’s a national opportunity to recognise the dedication, bravery, and sacrifice of those who serve, including veterans, reservists, and active personnel.

At InHealth, we are proud to have colleagues who have previously served in the Armed Forces. Their experiences bring unique strengths, values, and perspectives to our organisation such as resilience, teamwork, and a strong commitment to public service.

To our colleagues and people we screen, who are veterans or have served in any capacity: thank you. We’re proud to have you as part of the InHealth team.
