    DescriptionInterview with the Committee.

    For all substantive hearings, the Fitness to Practise Committee is made up of five Committee members, including two registrants and at least three lay people (individuals who are not opticians), one of whom will be the Chair. Their role is to hear the evidence and make decisions.

    In this issue we ask Dr Amit Jinabhai (registrant member) and Anne Johnstone (lay Chair) to give us some insight into their roles.
