Final call for registrations

With just days until the March 15 deadline, 40 per cent of all practitioners have so far failed to renew their GOC registration for 2008/09.

Pracitioners who do not submit a completed application for retention form, along with payment, will be removed from the register on April 1. A list of non-renewed registrants will be published on the GOC website, and copies will be sent to primary care trusts.

The Council urged any practitioner who has not received their retention forms to contact the GOC registration team as a matter of urgency on 020 7580 3898 or email superinfo@optical.org
