Your impact

Share your expertise

A key part of your role will be educating and empowering healthcare professionals in non‑specialist settings. You will contribute to training and learning programmes through the SIA's Frank Williams Academy, helping to raise the standard of SCI awareness and care across the region.

Lead with influence

Using your clinical expertise, you may also support individuals through elements of the NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) process, including attendance at reviews or appeals. Your input will help ensure fair, informed decisions for those you support.
