CET during COVID-19 pandemic

The GOC has issued this statement on temporary changes to CET requirements.

 

Bucks LOC currently has no CET events planned, but we've put together a list below of providers of online CET. As far as we're aware, all of this CET is being supplied free of charge.

  • CooperVision Academy Need to register but easy and free of charge
  • All of DOCET's materials are freely available to fully qualified GOC registered optometrists
  • AOP members can access free of charge CET

  • Optegra will hold regular webinars throughout summer 2020 - download document from this page for information
  • J&J offer free online CET. Registration required
  • Essilor offer free online CET. Registration required
  • WOPEC has a number of courses available, with several CET-approved for both optometrists and dispensing opticians. Each course needs a separate access code, which you can request from bucksloc@hotmail.com.
