Stop press! News Update

June 1, 2008

Irish readers may like to grab a copy of the Irish Weekly on 3rd June, which will feature an interview with Meryl Davies, Network Facilitator for Wales. Meryl has also been involved in some exciting initiatives recently on behalf of AANUK&I - look out for her Newspost to follow shortly!

Other awareness survivors have also been in the news again - June Carson and Sally Pearson have taken part in interviews with Carole Richardson for a leading weekly magazine, and Jeremiah Ware recently interviewed Sally for a feature published in The Weekly News (17.05.08).

World-wide interest in the problem of awareness under anaesthesia continues, both as an outcome of the opening of ‘Awake’, and as a result of the ongoing debates surrounding the use and development of consciousness monitoring devices for patients undergoing operations. New devices are coming onto the market all the time, and the struggle to find a machine that is effective, both in cost and outcomes, continues on both sides of the Atlantic.
