The Scottish Diabetic Retinopathy Screening (DRS) collaborative brings together individuals from
all NHS Boards in Scotland to facilitate the delivery of
the National Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Programme. The
primary objective of the programme is to detect referable
( potentially sight-threatening) retinopathy so that it can
be treated.
Purpose of the Collaborative
- To promote accessible and equitable delivery of diabetic
retinal screening across Scotland in line with NHS Quality Improvement Scotland
agreed standards
- To facilitate effective service interfaces and support
good practice in multidisciplinary and interagency working
- To facilitate the various strands of user involvement
in service delivery and future service planning
- To provide effective governance framework for the Scottish
National Diabetic Retinal Screening Programme.
