Ethics and Ethical Standards for Optometrists and Opticians is a CPD-accredited course designed for General Optical Council (GOC) registered professionals seeking to strengthen ethical practice, professionalism, and regulatory compliance.
The course explores informed consent, patient safety, confidentiality, professional boundaries, the duty of candour, record-keeping, advertising standards, and fitness-to-practise responsibilities within optical practice, ensuring alignment with ethical and professional expectations.
It is particularly relevant for optometrists and dispensing opticians completing continuing professional development (CPD), responding to complaints, or facing General Optical Council investigations.
Through structured guidance and reflective learning, participants will enhance ethical decision-making, demonstrate insight and remediation, and protect patient trust, professional reputation, and continued registration.
