Our aims are to ensure that optometrists' skills are constantly developed to meet new models of eye care and improve patient outcomes.

We launched our workforce vision for the UK in August 2022, here’s what we have achieved since.

The College of Optometrists is leading a sector-wide and UK-wide, multi-professional eye care workforce supply and demand data modelling project.
