British Association of Retinal Screeners Web Address BARS representative


BARS is an organisation for those primarily involved in providing retinal screening services for people with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy remains one of the biggest causes of blindness in the under 65 age group in the UK and retinal screening has been shown to be an effective way to prevent or reduce visual loss from damage to blood vessels in the eye.

The main aims of the organisation are to provide a continuing educational, representational and support resource for those involved in screening by using the internet and by the organisation of suitable conferences and meetings.

BARS have produced guidance notes to help you complete your application for registration which we advise all applicants to download and read prior to completing their forms.
