View from the GOC: We need your feedback

As technology continues to evolve, healthcare services develop and our ageing population increases demand for eye care services, it’s become even more important that optical education remains up to date to ensure that the sector is prepared to meet the demands of the future. These are some of the key drivers behind our Education Strategic Review (ESR), which has been ongoing since 2016.

As part of the ESR, we are currently consulting on new draft Education Standards for providers and Learning Outcomes for students, which have been developed based on feedback from our previous consultation on the concepts and principles that could underpin optical training and education in the future.
