Sammanfattning

Over the course of a two-week internship at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, a Danish ophthalmic nurse studied differences and similarities in monitoring and treatment of AMD (Age- related Macular Degeneration) and eye complications in patients with diabetes mellitus. Moorfields Eye Hospital is located in Central London. It treats all types of eye diseases. In addition, the hospital has seven satellite units across the capital. There are just over 1,000 staff. The main work at the satellite units is to screen patients with diabetes for eye complications and check for AMD, glaucoma, uveitis and other eye disorders. Screening, checks and treatment of patients with AMD are by and large as in Denmark. Moorfields Eye Hospital, like its Danish counterparts, is committed to improving patient safety and researching quality of care. All in all, this was an instructive internship, but I believe we can take pride in the quality of our healthcare system in Denmark.
