Abstract

The National Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Deaths (NCEPOD) recently published its report entitled Who Operates When? II (WOW II) (NCEPOD, 2003). This report examined changes in surgical and anaesthetic practice since the publication of Who Operates When? (WOW I) in 1997 (NCEPOD, 1997). Increased consultant involvement and a reduction in junior trainees performing procedures at night have been identified. However, the report makes recommendations based upon the study findings which, if implemented, would improve the quality of care available, particularly for emergency patients.
