Could someone please quote me which paragraph of which law enacted by Parliament states that a dispensing optician has to complete CET to maintain registration?
Bill Harvey replies: The answer to this can be found on the GOC website. On the home page, click on the ‘about’ tab, then the ‘legislation’ tab. There, it explains that ‘We [the GOC] are the statutory regulator for the optical professions in the UK. Our powers were given to us by Parliament, under the Opticians Act 1958.’ Full downloads of the Act plus regulatory instruments are available here.
