Plans have been announced by the College of Optometrists to significantly increase the number of Minor Eye Conditions Service (Mecs) practical assessments across England starting in August.
The College said it would be working with Locsu and Wales Optometry Postgraduate Education Centre (Wopec) to run additional practical assessments to meet demand from the profession.
It will now host Part 2 assessment events, increasing the number of places available to optometrists. Wopec already provides Mecs Part 1 online training, funded by Locsu, and will continue to work with LOCs and commissioners to run its Osce Part 2 assessments.
