As part of our Continuing Education and Training (CET) Review, we have been analysing data from the 2016-18 cycle to identify trends in practitioner behaviour and explore ways we can help and support optometrists and dispensing opticians. We will be publishing an in-depth report later this year. Our initial analysis has revealed a range of useful insights.

The current CET scheme aims to boost standards across the professions and ensure that registrants update their skills and knowledge throughout the duration of the cycle. The scheme encourages registrants to take part in more interactive forms of learning and increases opportunities for registrants to engage with peers and reflect on good practice.
