General Optical Council

Our mission is to be recognised as a modern healthcare regulator, innovative and effective in our processes.

Over the next five years we will concentrate on three strategic priorities:

• Develop the regulatory framework to support UK eye care in delivering safe, high quality care which meets society’s needs and expectations;
• Continue to modernise our core functions and put in place systems for improvement to become more efficient and more effective;
• Promote a wider understanding of our role and engage stakeholders (including the public, patients, registrants, educators and their representatives) in our work.
