Other Best Practice Resources

MASCIP has produced a number guidelines to inform the care and management of people with SCI on a range of topics. The topics addressed in these guidelines are primarily identified during the Annual MASCIP Conference or in response to ongoing service developments and changes in the SCI patient demographic. Each guideline is developed by a MASCIP Working Party incorporating representatives of SCI Charities.
