MyHealthCPD

About Us

We are an experienced team of education providers who have grouped together to provide a single place to allow all GOC registrants to stay on-track under the new CPD scheme. Our aim is to be led by you, the registrants, therefore MyHealthCPD is run as a not-for-profit entity. This means that any profits are reinvested into either developing CPD, or in optical education. We are led by Anthony Blackman, who has many years of experience in optical education, including roles with the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers, and Canterbury Christ Church University. In 2017 he founded Insight Optical Training, which provides courses and qualifications to optical assistants support staff.
