Just got a NHS letter saying do not attend you eye screening in March we will rearrange it at a later date.

Thing is I never got an appointment sent anyway but at least they are thinking of me :D

If I were you I would ring the number on the letter to query, as they are supposed to be prioritising those newly diagnosed, amongst those at high risk.
 
you have got the phantom letter i keep getting a phantom NHS phone call. answered it first time around and no body spoke and today it was the same number
 
I had a text one Thursday in September reminding me not to forget my appt on the Saturday - well I couldn't forget something I never knew about, could I? Rang to check on the Friday, I asked Is it my flu vaccine - yes - so I asked when Pete was getting his then, with him being older for starters and having COPD? - his was at the same time - but he'd not had the appt or the remdr on his mobile!

We both received a/another remdr after about another half hour though.
 
It's the thought that counts. I have had nothing from them.
 
I have actually got an appointment for my covid jab on the 4th of Feb, so they do care.

You can ring your local Retinopathy service and ask what's happening. When I say local, it may not be very local - we're slightly north of Coventry which last time I crossed the border this morning was still in West Midlands, whereas we live c 150ys into Bedworth in Warwickshire - our service used to be based in Rugby - but now based in Worcester!
 
Hehe! made me smile @Maca44

The last I heard, this was the planned running-order for eye screening restarts

Diabetes Eye Screening - Covid 19 Restart

Lots of understandable worry about information regards retinal screening for people with diabetes during the coronavirus pandemic. Dr Rebecca Thomas and Prof Partha Kar created this info sheet based on Public Health England's guidance.
