The last ten years has seen significant regulatory changes and the
issuing of professional advice to match developments in clinical
practice. It has not been easy for clinicians to keep pace with the
changes or to find information on how and when changes have
occurred and this text provides an essential source to guide
optometrists through the current regulatory and professional
expectations.Although specifically designed for the optometrist the
text will also be useful to anyone involved in the provision,
regulation and monitoring of optometry services in the UK.Detailed
chapters on the Opticians Act, General Optical Council and the
National Health Service General Ophthalmic Service Regulations
provide a foundation on the regulation for optometry practice.
These chapters trace the development of the regulatory framework
and the different roles played by various organisations and
government. Additional chapters cover more detailed issues
including requirements for Continuing Professional Development,
Delegation and Supervision, Contact lenses, Referrals, Case Records
and data protection, Fitness to Practice and Drugs and optometry.
These all impact on day-to-day aspects of optometric practice and
it is important for optometrists to understand how the requirements
in these areas may affect an individual's ability to practise. The
text also provides a useful reference source and a list of
regulations relating to optometry practice in the UK.
