Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Observational audit only - no intervention in this study. We will observe a random selection of operations at both hospitals from November 2011 until 200 cases have been observed (estimated 2 months from actual study start). Observers will rate compliance with, and operating room team engagement during administration of the Checklist. A sample of 100 operative procedures at each hospital will be observed. Data will be collected using a standardised assessement tool developed for this use.
