Who Operates When? II (2003)

The first 'Who Operates When?' (WOW I) report was published in 1997 and considerable changes have occurred in the staffing and surgical activity of hospitals since that time. This report again reinforces the need for sufficiently robust information and data collection systems in every Trust. Although this is often believed to be primarily necessary for producing accurate activity data, it is becoming increasingly important in clinical governance, risk management and other indices of morbidity and mortality.
