Join GOC Council and shape future

After eight years’ membership of the General Optical Council (GOC), my term will sadly come to an end in December this year. The GOC is now recruiting my successor, and I would strongly encourage anyone who wants to influence our professions to apply.

The GOC has certainly changed a lot in my eight years, during which I have worked with four chairs and three registrars. The Council is now smaller and more board-like than when I started, and focuses on its strategic role and holding the executive to account, rather than representing the professions or the different parts of them.
