CET payments now ready to claim

Claims for Continuing Education and Training grants for 2014 have been set at £535 and claims can be made from now until the end of the year.

Payments in respect of training undertaken by optometrists and optical medical practitioners in the calendar year 2104 can now be made and claims should be in accordance with the general Ophthalmic Services Contracts (Continuing Education and Training Allowance).

Claims should be made to Area Teams, or support agency, and claims must be made by contractors. Contractors, who are perfromers, may claim for themselves but they must also claim for optical performers working for them.
