View from the AOP: Revision notes

With the GOC’s call for evidence on its Education Strategic Review, the future of optical education has been the subject of much debate for the sector in recent months.

There were many considerations including the challenges posed by growing patient needs, changes in technology and pressures on the health service.

A key theme of our response is that education should be delivered in a way that helps students build the knowledge that underpins their ability to adapt over the course of their career. Naturally, the consultation forms part of a much longer term piece of work but we hope that this is an idea that the GOC will take forward in earnest.
