Explanatory Notes 00 Not Applicable 01 Level 1 Grader A level 1 grader, as defined by the national occupational standards for retinopathy screening, will grade images for image quality and the presence or absence of diabetic retinopathy. Images with any retinopathy (whatever level) will be passed on to the level 2 grader. The level 1 grader should have undergone a recognised and accredited training programme. Level 1 grading could, in some circumstances, be performed by camera operators who have received sufficient training. In due course it is hoped the level 1 grading role will be performed by automated grading systems. Diabetes Retinopathy Extension Dataset 6

7 02 Level 2 Grader A level 2 grader, as defined by the national occupational standards for retinopathy screening, will be presented with a list of images that have been referred by a level 1 grader. Level 2 graders will be required to undergo a more intensive training programme which has been recognised and accredited. Level 2 grading could, in some circumstances, be performed by camera operators who have received sufficient training The purpose of level 2 grading is to identify sight threatening retinopathy and other retinal problems that may be amenable to treatment. Such images will be passed on to the level 3 grader for final assessment. 03 Level 3 Grader A level 3 grader, as defined by the national occupational standards for retinopathy screening, will be presented with a list of images that have been referred by a level 2 grader. Level 3 graders (who usually but not necessarily will be ophthalmologists) confirm or refute the need for referral to ophthalmology. Related data items: See Associated Professional Details Table 5.
