This poster is a good example of the cooperation that is developing between Wearing Masks and our Canadian colleagues.


The Poster was presented at the Physicians Health Conference in London in November 2008: A combined venture with U.S., Canadian, and British physicians attending.

Substance Abuse Policies for Anesthesia
Time to Re-Evaluate Your Policies and Curriculum
Bernadette T. Higgins Roche   

"There is nothing like this out there. The reason this book is so valuable is that it's the first book to collect all the policies, procedures and structure needed in anesthesia units to protect everyone from substance abuse."

WM IV
The final component of WM series is about intervention of an addicted person and the reentry into practice after treatment. This completes the series of 7 programs of the WM series. All are available here on this website.
WM II & IIII
The Wearing Masks Programs contain resource materials for education on substance addiction disorder for all anesthesia practitioners. It is hoped that between 4 and 6 programs per year will be conducted in all anesthesia units.
