We audited the performance of the virtual DRIC at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Trust purely for new referrals from the DESP between May 2021 and 2022 which utilised a technician-led diagnostic hub (Full history, vision, IOP, ultra-widefield imaging and OCT) followed by next day consultant review. The patient cohort deemed to be suitable for the DRIC included patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR), maculopathy, and those with non-DR referrals from DESP (including choroidal naevi, wet AMD, and RVO). Data was recorded relating to patient demographics, referral DR grade, DRIC DR grade, non-DR lesions, outcomes, and follow-up time.
