*Supervised: the workplace supervisor must supervise the registrant’s day-to-day work in a way prescribed in the relevant condition or undertaking. The workplace supervisor does not need to work at the same practice as the registrant, but they must be available to provide advice or assistance if the registrant needs it. Where the workplace supervisor is unavailable through illness or planned absence, the registrant must not work, unless an approved alternative workplace supervisor is in place. The workplace supervisor must review the registrant’s work at least once a fortnight in one-to-one meetings and case-based discussions. These meetings must focus on all areas of concern identified by the conditions or undertakings. These meetings should usually be in person. If this is not possible, at least one of every two fortnightly meetings must be in person. **Single-handed dental practice: A dentist operating as a sole practitioner without the support of other dentists is working single-handedly. If this is the case, the registrant may not be safe to practise without daily contact from a supervisor or without having the option of seeking assistance from a supervisor on site. In those circumstances it may be appropriate to deny a registrant the right to work single-handedly, for the protection of the public.
