This page brings together the core guidance and supporting documents required to deliver intravitreal injection therapy (IVT) safely and consistently. It is designed as a practical resource for ophthalmology teams managing high-volume IVT services.
The resources should be used as a complete pathway rather than in isolation. The main guidance document outlines standards for safe clinical practice, including staffing, environment, infection control and injection technique. The supporting documents provide a structured approach to consent, documentation and day-of-treatment safety checks.
Used together, these resources support a robust consent process, reduce variation in practice and strengthen clinical governance. They are relevant to clinicians, nurses, healthcare professionals and service leads responsible for IVT delivery.
