The GOC have made changes to the CET requirements with the most significant change being compulsory Peer review sessions. Cheshire LOC aims to provide these sessions free of charge to all opticians working in the Cheshire area.
We are therefore compiling a list of optometrists who work in Western / Central and Eastern Cheshire. If you are an optometrist in the Cheshire area please add your details to our email database below.
Over the last year there have been many changes occurring in the commissioning of ophthalmic services and Cheshire LOC will be representing you in negotiations with the clinical commissioning groups. There will be times in the negotiation process where we will need relatively quick feedback from our local optometrists / contractors on a variety of matters.
Cheshire LOC is creating an email database of local performers and contractors. We would like local performers and contractors to provide their email address. Please email [email protected]
