View from the GOC: Give us your views

Last week we launched a consultation on new standards for optical businesses. We are seeking views from registrants, patients, professional bodies and other stakeholders on the draft standards which will replace our current Code of Conduct for Businesses.

In order to get these new business standards right, it is vital that we hear from registrants and a wide range of stakeholders within the optical professions.

The new standards are designed to reflect the changes in the optical and healthcare sectors over the last few years, as well as the recent changes that we made to the GOC’s individual standards.

They will be easier to digest for both businesses and individuals so businesses understand our expectations and the public knows what to expect from a business.
