The supervisor should exercise due diligence when completing the report for the dentist under his/her charge. Please complete every section of the report. In the event that a supervisor is unable to continue his/her supervisory duties for the full period of conditional registration, he/she should inform SDC  immediately and SDC  will write to the clinic to re-nominate a new supervisor.
