Course Structure
This post qualification certificate will require the direct supervision for each topical fluoride application by one or more witnesses within the practice. Any qualified member of staff can witness you applying fluoride to complete your ROC. You can have one or more witnesses, for example a hygienist, therapist or dentist.
The mentor is the person accepting overall responsibility to help you throughout your training mentally and they do not have to witness you. Your tutor will contact the mentor with progress reports to inform them of your academic progress and to get feedback on your clinical progress.
The ROC workbook will consist of the following:
15 Practical competency assessment sheets (PCAS)
11 supplementary outcomes (SO’s)
