View from the GOC: What do you think of our CET scheme?

Our Fit for the Future consultation on the future of Continuing Education and Training (CET) has been open for over a month and we have already received more than 500 responses from registrants and stakeholders.

Our current CET scheme was introduced in 2013 but the optical sector has evolved since then and the work optometrists and dispensing opticians carry out has expanded and diversified. These changes are due to various factors, including increased demand in eye health services, an ageing population and advancements in technology.

We want to hear your views on how our CET scheme can successfully evolve to help meet the challenges of the future. Demonstrating that registrants continue to practise safely and meet professional standards is an important element of building and maintaining public trust and confidence in the optical professions.
