P009  Service evaluation to optimise ophthalmological services for hydroxychloroquine retinal screening

Conclusion Our results demonstrate the need for service development to facilitate adherence to RCOphth guidance. Up to 40% of patients started on HCQ have baseline risks for retinopathy, most due to dosing>5mg/kg/day warranting yearly screening. Our findings will inform development of a rheumatology HCQ retinal screening pathway and services, to ensure safe long-term use of HCQ.Disclosure C. Lee*: None.M. Dey*: None.M. Hng: None.S.
