Abstract
The role of the preoperative assessment practitioner (POAP) has evolved hugely to allow them to become more autonomous in decision-making, particularly in the design of local protocols and guidelines for preoperative assessment. Good practice guidelines are imperative to ensure that all requirements for the patient have been identified before the day of surgery, which minimises the risk of late cancellations.
