The GOC are carrying out a consultation on a proposed change to the Fitness to Practise (FTP) Rules. The change is for Case Examiners, rather than the GOC’s Registrar, to review decisions made not to refer cases to the FTP committee.
The GOC anticipate that the Case Examiners will be implemented in 2013 and accordingly are seeking around 12 people, whether optometrists, opticians or lay people, to fulfil that role.
