Why is this event happening?
The aim of the morning is to help family members and friends of NSIC patients understand spinal cord injury and how best to cope with it, both at home and in the community.
Who is it for?
The event is for family members and friends of a person living with a spinal cord injury who is currently an inpatient or has been discharged in the last 12 months.
Why is it important?
The morning will include meeting and talking with some discharged patients and their relatives – a great opportunity to hear about their experience, ask questions and receive practical advice on living with spinal cord injury.
How can I join?
If you are a family member or friend of someone who is currently an inpatient or has been discharged from the national spinal injuries centres in the last 12 months, please email us to request attendance.
- All we need is their name, your name, their relationship to you and a contact number / email.
