And Training

In all national screening programmes, staff training to confirm competency and accreditation to practice in their profession is required for patient safety. This chapter sets out an example of how the UK diabetic eye programme has evolved in this respect. The current National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) level 3: Health screener: diabetic eye screening for personnel undertaking screening and grading, will be explained. In some programmes, slit lamp examination is now provided by graders, as well as ophthalmologists and optometrists. The current requirement is detailed. In addition, all grading staff should also participate in test and training of retinal image sets in order to confirm accuracy of grading. At least 10 test sets should be undertaken per annum.

Acceptable Image Quality

Early eye screening detection and treatment is fundamental in managing significant complications of chronic disease, both for improving diabetic retinopathy (DR) clinical outcomes and improving the economic burdens. Early detection and subsequent treatment can substantially reduce the risk of blindness from DR. This chapter will review the screening episode, measuring visual acuity, drop instillation, contraindications, and correct camera operation. It will review problems associated with incorrect camera operation and the NHS Diabetic Eye Screening Programme (NHSDESP) standards of acceptable image quality. This will guide the screener in obtaining clear, well-centred, gradable digital images of the retina in diabetic patients with vision better than no perception of light in both eyes, as well as providing a greater understanding of issues associated with screening.

The NHS diabetic eye screening (DES) programme is one of the young person and adult NHS population screening programmes that are available in the UK. The various NHS screening programmes identify those people who appear healthy, but could be at increased risk of a disease or condition. Screening is not the same as diagnosis and there will always be a possibility of some false positive and false negative results. This article in the series provides the reader with details about the DES programme. A brief overview of the anatomy of the eye is provided and the screening process is described. The healthcare assistant and assistant practitioner (HCA and AP) have a key role to play in encouraging and emphasising the importance of screening, as well as helping the individual maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Retinopathy Screening

Organizations that care for people with diabetes have increasingly adopted telemedicine-based diabetic retinopathy screening (TMDRS) as a way to increase adherence to recommended retinal exams. Recently, handheld retinal cameras have emerged as a low-cost, lightweight alternative to traditional bulky tabletop retinal cameras. Few published clinical trials have been performed on handheld retinal cameras. Peer-reviewed articles about commercially available handheld retinal cameras have concluded that they are a usable alternative for TMDRS, however, the clinical results presented in these articles do not meet criteria published by the United Kingdom Diabetic Eye Screening Programme and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. The future will likely remedy the shortcomings of currently available handheld retinal cameras, and will create more opportunities for preventing diabetic blindness.

Key Questions

The rationale behind the decision of a London family health services authority (Lambeth, Southwark, and Lewisham) to embark on a programme for diabetic eye screening by optometrists is outlined, discussing the way in which the scheme was set up and its possible future development. This family health services authority brought together a range of professionals across primary and secondary care to reach agreement on development of the service, and a consensus on clinical guidelines for operation of the scheme. This was particularly difficult in an area served by four hospitals which provide care to diabetics. Development of the scheme identified key questions about quality which have promoted a separate research agenda.
