Every year, thousands of children across England miss important health appointments — and for paediatric clinics, around 1 in 10 appointments are recorded as Was Not Brought (WNB).

For children living with diabetes, missing eye screening means missing vital checks that help protect their sight. Repeated WNBs can also be an early sign of unmet health needs or safeguarding concerns, which is why national guidance asks all services to look closely at patterns of non‑attendance.

If you’re finding it hard to get to your child’s appointment, please let us know.
We can help rearrange and make sure they don’t miss the care they need.

Your child’s safety and sight matter — and we’re here to help.

For more information or to rearrange please contact us on the number in the image below

🎃 Halloween Treats Are Fun... But Don't Let Your Eye Health Be Tricked! 👻

As Halloween approaches, it's important to enjoy seasonal treats responsibly and keep an eye on your blood sugar levels. 🍬🩸 Small treats can still be part of a balanced lifestyle, but moderation is key.

While you're looking after your diabetes this spooky season, don't forget about your diabetic eye screening appointment. Regular screening helps detect changes in the back of the eye early, often before you notice any symptoms.

👀 Protect your sight for the future.
🍭 Enjoy treats in moderation.
🎃 Keep those sugar levels from causing a fright!

Wishing everyone a safe, fun, and sight-friendly Halloween from the Norfolk & Waveney Diabetic Eye Screening Team.

Protect your future health, including your sight.

Type 2 diabetes is a major cause of preventable sight loss, but there are steps you can take to reduce your risk.

The NHS Healthier You Diabetes Prevention Programme offers free support for people at high risk of Type 2 diabetes, helping them make lasting lifestyle changes through face-to-face, digital or remote coaching.

Nearly one million people have already accessed the programme, and evidence shows it can reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by over one-third.

Ask your GP if the programme could be right for you.

This Stoptober, give your eyes a break! 👁️🚭

Did you know that smoking significantly increases your risk of sight loss if you have diabetes? Smoking raises blood pressure and restricts oxygen, which damages the delicate blood vessels in your retina and accelerates diabetic retinopathy.

The good news? Quitting smoking immediately starts to reduce this risk and helps stabilize your eye health.

Use Stoptober as your motivation to quit. Protect your vision, reach out to local stop-smoking services for support, and always attend your diabetic eye screening when invited.
