CAS and Chiefs COVID-19 Surveys

CAS is connecting with our Hospital and Site Chiefs of Anesthesia on a weekly basis to gain information about the the current status of COVID-19 PPE and medication inventories/issues at hospitals across Canada.  This information will inform our advocacy efforts and provide CAS with an understanding of landscape during the pandemic.

CAS would like to distribute this survey to as many Chiefs and Site Chiefs as possible.  Please send any contact information to anesthesia@cas.ca if you would like to be included, or would like the survey sent to your colleagues.
