General Optical Council

Past Hearings

Site hierarchy

On this page, you can find details of all of our Fitness to Practise hearings from the last twelve months. After one year, we only keep hearing details on our website where the sanction is still in force. You can see details of these hearings here.

If you know of somebody who is practising illegally following a GOC fitness to practise sanction, please email us at ftp@optical.org or download an illegal practice complaint form from our investigating complaints page.

Every month we send out a list of that month's amendments to our registers - if you would like to be included on the mailing list, please email tyates@optical.org
