    AbstractThe changing ethical and legal landscape in the UK means that anaesthetists should routinely be discussing the risk of death during the consent process. To do this effectively means expanding anaesthetic preassessment services for children and young people, something that has been recognised as a priority, but which still needs investment and an appreciation of its value at the trust level.Copyright © 2024 British Journal of Anaesthesia.
