GOC suspends Wrexham based optometrist from register

The General Optical Council (GOC), the UK regulator for optometrists and dispensing opticians, has decided to suspend Elizabeth Williams, an optometrist based in Wrexham, from its register for twelve months.  

A GOC Fitness to Practise Committee found her fitness to practise impaired by reason of misconduct. This is in relation to failing to perform and/or record examinations and failing to adequately refer patients.  

Ms Williams has until 13 June 2025 to appeal against her suspension.
