*Supervised: The registrant’s day to day work must be supervised by a person who is registered with the GDC in their category of the register or above. The supervisor need not work at the same practice as the registrant but must make himself/herself available to provide advice or assistance should they be required. The registrant’s work must be reviewed at least once fortnightly by the supervisor via one-to-one meetings and case-based discussion. These fortnightly meetings must be focussed on all areas of concern identified by the conditions. **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.
