The General Optical Council (GOC) has today launched its Workforce and Perceptions Survey to learn more about registrants’ work experiences, including views on their job satisfaction, working conditions, and plans for the future.
The General Optical Council has signed a joint statement on principles relating to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education and training, together with five other health and care regulators.
As part of our ongoing thematic review into commercial practices and patient safety, we’re turning our attention to sales targets and incentives in the eye care sector. We want to hear views from across the sector on any positive impacts or negative effects of these targets.
It would be easy to get disheartened by the 2025 Registrant Workforce and Perceptions Survey findings showing declining job satisfaction levels and challenging working conditions persisting. Whilst we continue to report these findings and focus on tackling these issues, this is a time of great opportunity for the sector, so it’s important we celebrate the positive findings in the research and to build on what’s working well.
The GOC has published the findings from its 2025 Workforce and Perceptions Survey, which aims to learn more about registrants’ work experiences, including views on their job satisfaction and working conditions.
