Portland-based optometrist erased

Portland-based optometrist Helen Lampka has been erased from the GOC register for repeatedly failing to engage with the fitness to practise process following two suspensions.

Lampka was originally suspended in March 2023 for 12 months for allegedly failing to accurately record clinical information and failing to refer patients for further examinations.

A review hearing in March 2024 showed that she had shown no evidence of remediation and engagement with the fitness to practise process, and she was suspended for a further 12 months.

After continuing to show a lack of engagement with the fitness to practise process, the optometrist has now been erased from the register.
