GOC suspends Barking based optometrist

The General Optical Council (GOC), the UK regulator for optometrists and dispensing opticians, has decided to suspend Khooshaal Dawoolet, an optometrist based in Barking, from its register for three months. 

A GOC Fitness to Practise Committee found his fitness to practise impaired by reason of misconduct.

This is in relation to carrying out transactions for his family, his friends, and himself free of charge, without authorisation to do so. The Committee found these actions to be inappropriate and dishonest.

Mr Dawoolet has until 5 January 2026 to appeal against his suspension.
