GOC suspends London based student dispensing optician from register
The General Optical Council (GOC), the UK regulator for optometrists and dispensing opticians, has decided to suspend Rahi Miah, a student dispensing optician based in London, from its register for twelve months.
A GOC Fitness to Practise Committee found his fitness to practise impaired by reason of misconduct. This is in relation to falsely informing a patient that the card machine was not working and seeking to retain the cash payment for himself. The Committee found these actions to be dishonest.
Mr Miah has until 20 May 2026 to appeal against his suspension.
