Bill Harvey: CET requirements must be flexible

The end of this three-year CET cycle is in sight.

Many of you may remember that the last cycle began in some confusion. There were some significant changes implemented, including the introduction of a requirement for at least 50% of CET points to be interactive and the requirement for at least one point to be a peer to peer session.

The exact nature and design of some of the new modalities was not established by the time the cycle began and throughout the first year of the cycle there was much toing and froing between providers, such as Optician, and the GOC to confirm that new modalities, such as our distance learning interactive exercises, were appropriate and accredited.
