It's official - we've been named as one of the Financial Times’ UK Best Employers 2026!

This nation-wide recognition is based on independent, large-scale employee feedback, with over 400,000 anonymous evaluations gathered across two years.

At the heart of this ranking is one (very) important question: would employees recommend their employer to others?

Our inclusion on this list is a powerful statement of InHealth's culture, which we are so proud of and, most importantly, our fabulous people.

We're absolutely chuffed to see InHealth recognised in this way - as a workplace where colleagues feel supported, valued and empowered to grow every day.

Preparing for your Diabetic Eye Screening? We’ve got you covered! 📋👓

A routine screening is vital for managing diabetes, and a little preparation makes your visit smooth and stress-free. We’ve designed this simple patient checklist so you don’t forget the essentials.

We strongly emphasize the need for a designated driver, as vision will be significantly impaired by dilating eye drops for up to six hours post-appointment.

For more information on what to expect, or to chat with our team about your specific needs (like accessibility)

👉 Call: 01603 542244

Don't miss your appointment—early detection makes all the difference. See you there!

Did you know its World Bee Day ? Bees are helping us fight diabetes! 🧪🐝

Researchers have studied honeybees to understand how sugar sensitivity and metabolism work. It turns out, we have more in common with these pollinators than we thought!

While they handle the science, you can handle the screening. Regular diabetic eye exams can prevent 95% of vision loss.

If you’ve received a screening invitation recently, why not make it a priority to get it booked? Early detection is the best way to protect your sight.
