This article outlines a pilot project to develop and evaluate a nurse-led gynaecology preoperative-assessment clinic at an acute hospital trust. The main aim of the clinic was to offer an effective preoperative-assessment service that provided high quality individualised and sensitive patient care. Further aims were that the clinic could be a template for other preoperative-assessment clinics, an educational resource for staff, a tool for clinical nursing career progression and a service to help ease junior doctors' workloads.
