Experience and learning requirements
further exposure to pre-operative assessment clinics with experience of ASA 1-4 patients for elective surgery

Examples of evidence
Supervised Learning events (SLEs) across a range of surgical specialties and pre-operative assessment clinics, including high risk obstetric clinics, demonstrating:
