STOP PRESS!

February 11, 2008

AANUK&I is regularly contacted by the media, with requests for personal stories from those who have gone through anaesthetic awareness. Everyone who has experienced awareness will understand the huge personal cost it can be to speak out about the experience. The contact details below are only for those who feel in the position to be able to speak about their experience, and/ or are willing to do so publicly. If you are willing to ‘raise awareness of awareness’ in this way, and would like to contact the media, you may be interested in below:
