Optometrists encouraged to complete GOC survey – Flame Health Blog

A General Optical Council (GOC) survey was launched this week. It will explore the challenges and opportunities facing optometrists in their job and career path.

The optical regulator is encouraging registrants to take part in the online survey, which takes around 10 minutes to complete. Survey respondents are entered into a prize draw for a £100 online gift card.

The findings from the survey will be gathered in a report that is shared with registrants and professional representative bodies.

The survey delves into job satisfaction levels, future career plans and challenges that optometrists and dispensing opticians may face in daily clinical practice.

It is also an opportunity for optometrists and dispensing opticians to provide feedback on how well the GOC is performing as a regulator.

Enventure Research has been appointed by the GOC to undertake the questionnaire and analysis.

Around 5000 registrants completed last year’s survey. Providing a snapshot of the optical workforce during the pandemic.
