Diabetic Eye Screening will be held at hospitals across the Western Isles

Diabetic Eye Screening (DES) appointments in the Western Isles will now be held at your local hospital.

As of April 18, you will be able to access diabetic eye screening at the same location as some of the other services you may use. The new arrangements also mean that you will be able to arrange hospital transport for your appointment if required.

While NHS Western Isles transitions to this new arrangement, there may be a slight delay in you being invited for your next appointment. We thank you for your patience while the new locations complete their preparations to welcome you.

In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding your DES appointment, please contact the Diabetes Centre on 01851 708331 or wi.drs@nhs.scot.
