A review of the General Optical Council’s performance in 2021-22 has determined that the body met all 18 standards of good regulation.
The Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care highlighted the GOC improved the processing time of fitness to practise cases and performed well on equality, diversity and inclusion.
Leonie Milliner, chief executive and registrar at the GOC, said: ‘The report recognises high standards across all areas of our work, including our regulatory operations, registration processes, in upholding high standards in education, policy and professional standards, in our communications functions, and, of course, in the vital area of corporate governance.’
