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. ** you are not required to inform the GDC in cases of planned absences such as pre-booked holidays, appointments etc.
