Visus writes: Time for a radical rethink of how we will train our next generation

Wow! They say a week is a long time in politics, well two weeks certainly is. With a new PM having a day of the long knives and establishing her untrammelled future vision, perhaps radical vision is the order of the day. With a GOC review of education signalled as a major plank of business perhaps now is the time to take the opportunity for optometry and dispensing optics to do some horizon scanning of its own.

A lot has been talked about the Foresight Report but in reality was this an opportunity missed?

Unremittingly negative, everything seemed to be positioned as a threat, sadly an attitude that seems to come easily to the optical sector. It is of course always possible that the legacy of Foresight is bringing forward the GOC Education review.
