3,000 practitioners yet to confirm CET target

Over 86 per cent of optometrists, 77 per cent of dispensing opticians and 76 per cent of contact lens opticians have achieved their points requirement of 36 plus 18 specialist points where relevant, but with just three weeks left, almost 3,000 registrants have yet to earn and confirm their points.

Some 500 practitioners have not registered on the www.cetoptics.com website, although 600 have enough pending points to meet the requirement as long as they are confirmed by the end of the year. CET administrator Vantage Technologies is sending emails to those who have confirmed and is automatically notifying the GOC of everyone who has reached target.
