The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) for Health and Social Care has been successful in its appeal against the GOC Fitness to Practise Committee’s (FTPC) November 2020 decision in the case of optometrist Honey Rose.
The success of the PSA’s appeal means that the FTPC's earlier determination on impairment of Fitness to Practise and on sanction is quashed.
The matter has now been remitted to a differently constituted FTPC for a fresh determination on these issues

I would think this optometrist has suffered enough. How many other professionals would have to go through this kind of scrutiny for this long a period of time?
What was the GP’s role in the management of this child?
What happened was a tragedy which in itself has lessons to be learned but all professionals are human after all and can make errors of judgment.

Nightmare. The GOC case was well run, independent of bias and gave well argued reasons. This sounds like a section 29 appeal against leniency. I hope all registrants and regulators are watching this.
