Spinal Injuries Scotland is the national voluntary organisation concerned with
new and long-term spinal cord injured people, their relatives and friends, along
with those involved in the management, care and rehabilitation of the injury.
SIS provides immediate support through the office based Information Service and
our Area Representative Network who contact all those who request assistance.
SIS have a Legal and Welfare Rights Advisory service and also run a
self-referral information line. Our representatives, who are able to discuss all
aspects of living with a spinal cord injury, undertake weekly visits to the
Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit.
In addition we liaise with other similar voluntary and professional
organisations so that the issues surrounding spinal cord injury are recognised
and understood.
