Priorities
Each year, the DOCET Council agrees a list of topics that it considers priority areas for the provision of CET for optometrists over the following year. Some of these topics will be ongoing from year to year, whilst others may be considered as specific priorities for that year.
Visit the CET Zone and Archive pages to access DOCET training materials relating to current and previous priority topics.
