In 1998 Lee trained as a Nurse Practitioner and at the same time developed a Preoperative assessment service in the UK.  He developed this role successfully which resulted in a service expansion and the training of further nurse practitioners and support staff.

One of Lee's main passions is to promote preoperative assessment as a dynamic speciality and encourage staff to develop clinical expertise through training and mentorship. 

In 2014 Lee co-authored National Training Standards and competencies on preoperative assessment in 2014 on behalf of the Preoperative Association. Lee now assists with the design and delivery of the Preoperative Association Competency-based training programme which is primarily aimed at Nurses and allied health professionals. He recently contributed to the new edition Pudners Surgical Nursing textbook on Preoperative Assessment and continues to facilitate clinical skills workshops at National Conference.
