From the High St: Keeping up with the Joneses

With the changes brought about in the education of optical professionals by the GOC under the banner of ETR (education and training requirements), there are destined to be more and more optometrists joining the profession with higher qualifications. 

It’s definitely a step in the right direction, but as a profession we need to ensure that these new registrars are given every opportunity to flourish.  

We do that by supporting their short and long placements as they travel through university ensuring that they are given sufficient exposure to real-world cases to develop into high-quality clinicians.
