Dr Lorraine de Grey provides an update on the credential for the pain medicine specialist, following a stall in progress due to the pandemic.

I started working part-time for GIRFT (Getting it Right First Time) as a POA (Preoperative Assessment) national advisor in September 2022. Most POA non-medical leads will recognise that you are often working in a silo in a POA department. While we have a number of expert multidisciplinary-team (MDT) professionals who feed into and out of the department, the core ‘everyday’ team are predominantly non-medical staff.
It’s an area that has seen significant variation across the country, but for many POA will be the sole job for the staff who work there. The reason? They absolutely LOVE IT! Highly skilled and hugely rewarding, this area brings a huge amount of satisfaction and unity to identify potential challenges for our patients undergoing elective surgery, and is an opportunity to help educate and inform on perioperative risk.
