View from the GOC: Become a council member

The General Optical Council (GOC) is currently recruiting four new Council members. With two vacancies for optometrists and dispensing opticians, now is a great time to apply.

My term on Council finishes on March 31, 2017 and I’ve found Council membership to be highly rewarding.

The GOC is uniquely placed to influence the standards and scope of delivery of eye care services across the UK. I saw joining the Council as a great opportunity to bring to bear the experience I had gained initially as a front line practitioner and latterly as a business executive, to help shape current and future eye care service delivery.
