    If your last two diabetic eye screens found no sign of diabetic retinopathy, you will now be invited for screening every 2 years. This follows expert advice.

    Diabetic eye screening is important as it helps to prevent sight loss. Have regular eye tests and consult your optometrist or optician if you notice changes to your eyesight.

  • Do you use a blue inhaler?

    Posted Thu 12/01/2023

    • Aerosol spray inhalers use propellant gases that contribute to climate change
    • Some inhalers have a lower carbon footprint than others, even if they contain the same medicine
    • To reduce carbon footprint, we are switching to a lower carbon footprint inhaler, Salamol
    • This change may affect the taste of the inhaler, but will not affect asthma care
