As a minimum, the registrant’s work must be reviewed at least twice a week by the supervisor via one to one meetings and case- based discussion. These bi-weekly meetings must be focused on all areas of concern identified by the conditions/undertakings. These meetings must take place face to face.

**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.
