GOC recruiting four new Council members

Four new council members are being sought by the GOC this month including two registrants and two lay members.

The successful appointees were expected to take up their posts on April 2017, joining eight other members plus the chair.

GOC chair Gareth Hadley said: ‘There are plenty of exciting and interesting issues on the horizon that council members will have the opportunity to be fully involved with.

‘For example, we will soon be launching a strategic review of the education that registrants receive. This is particularly important as enhanced services become more prevalent, with the growing influence of technology and an ageing population requiring optical professionals to take a bigger role in primary care.’
