Brief Summary

International evidence highlights the preanaesthetic assessment clinics (PAC) as a system of benefits for both the patient and the anaesthesiologist. The system has gained global acceptance as a routine method of optimising patients' medical conditions prior to surgery and therefore minimising surgery cancellations and improving hospital efficiency. However, a systematic review found no evidence of the efficiency of (PAC) and therefore we wanted to investigate this with the use of hospitals journals.
