Dr Reid-Searl has teamed with a silicone mask specialist based in Los Angeles to produce masks and associated body part props that are just perfect to provide nursing students with a simulated learning experience.

The MASK-EDTM (KRS simulation) package goes way beyond supply of the masks and props to include the workshop-based training and techniques that make them so successful.  MASK-EDTM simply means masking of the educator and masking of the educational process, whilst KRS is about knowledgeable, realistic and spontaneous simulation.
