What progress is being made to update ICT support for anesthetists?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care | Answered on 24/07/2025
Anaesthetists, like all clinicians, have access to the Welsh Clinical Portal (WCP) and can use it to view health records and diagnostics and update a patient's digital health record, but there is no specific data capture for pre-operative assessments.
Swansea Bay University Health Board has a locally-developed electronic pre-op assessment solution, which its clinical staff are trained to use.
