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. ** Workplace supervisor A workplace supervisor will oversee the registrant’s day-to-day clinical work. Workplace supervisors review the clinical practice of the registrant throughout the period of supervision and provide feedback to the GDC. Postgraduate dental deans or their nominated deputies do not appoint, identify, or manage workplace supervisors. The workplace supervisor must agree to provide reports to the GDC at the intervals specified in the registrant’s conditions or undertakings. The reports should include information about: • The registrant’s clinical performance. • One-to-one meetings and case-based discussions. • The registrant’s progress towards remediation. • Any concerns regarding the registrant, their practice, or their progress towards remediation (where applicable). • Any specific areas of concern listed in the conditions. *** Development Adviser A development adviser supports a registrant with conditions or undertakings to develop and update a Personal Professional Development Plan (PPDP). They also support, guide, and monitor the registrant to meet the areas of concern identified in conditions or undertakings. The development adviser will help the registrant to draw up their PPDP, monitor progress against the PPDP, and review any written evidence specified in the PPDP. They will provide the GDC, or other relevant bodies, with reports on the registrant’s progress at times specified under the conditions/undertakings or upon request. Development advisers do not supervise the registrant’s clinical practice. Registrants must nominate a development adviser for approval by the GDC. Persons agreeing to undertake this role are likely to charge the registrant a fee. ****Personal Professional Development Plan (PPDP) A PPDP is a plan for the registrant’s continued professional and/or personal development over a set period. For registrants with conditions or undertakings, it is the starting point for remediation and/or retraining in a particular area or areas of practice. The PPDP can cover any area of the GDC’s Standards for the Dental Team, but it must set out an action plan to address the area or areas of concern, any measures to take, and the completion date. The development adviser (in England) or educational supervisor can advise the registrant about preparing a PPDP, but it is the registrant’s responsibility to prepare and complete it.
