Do we what?????????? Where I work we have a morbidity and mortality meeting every three months. We review the work of the entire unit. Look at number of operations performed, type of operation, who's doing them etc. We review all deaths and serious complications and try to determine why they happened and how they may be prevented in future. And we are not unique - every surgical department does this.

In addition, each surgeon in the unit has to undergo a peer reviewed audit annually for CPD issues.

So the answer your question - yes we do
