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 support 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.
