Mandatory Training 2026 A Realistic Approach to Community EyecareDeadline: 31st December 2026
A reminder that Optometrists and OMPs are advised that, in order to be eligible to claim a CPD allowance for appropriate CPD undertaken during the 2026 calendar year and in future years, they should have satisfactorily completed GOS mandatory training for that calendar year – unless they are exempt from having to do so under paragraph 3A(3) of schedule 1 of the GOS Regulations. An amendment to the Statement has been made to reflect this new policy. Please see PCA(O)2025(02) for more information. Complete on Turas here.
