More information
General Practice to Diabetic Retinopathy Screening (GP2DRS) is a system which automates the sharing of patient information between general practices and local diabetic eye screening programmes.
As well as identifying those patients who may be at increased risk of diabetic retinopathy, it will also identify patients who were in the cohort of diabetes patients in the last extract but who are no longer in the cohort of diabetes patients.
