Audit reveals enhanced documentation in laparoscopic appendicectomy notes after implementing GIRFT and ASGBI guidelines.

Documentation improvement achieved in 89.7% of measured variables after implementing a new proforma.
Initial audit showed that 19 out of 31 variables were included in less than 70% of surgical notes.
An educational poster alongside a standardised proforma was employed to facilitate better documentation practices.
Some minor gaps remained in documenting appendix location and arterial division methods despite improvements.

Thakrar et al. (2025) studied this question.
