Further details to follow.

A Fond Farewell to Angela Gall

Dr Angela Gall, Clinical Lead and Rehabilitation Consultant at the London Spinal Cord Injury Centre and former Chair of MASCIP (2008-2012) is returning to her home town of Aberdeen to take up the position of consultant in trauma and neurological rehabilitation.

Having started work in the London Spinal Cord Injury Centre in April 2002, she has led local and national service improvements across the field of SCI and championed quality provision for both patients and staff alike.

She is highly valued and respected by her own SCIC and across the national clinical field and will be greatly missed for her energy, innovative thinking and get on attitude. Her deep care and commitment to advancing treatment for those with spinal cord injury is the common thread through all her interactions.

MASCIP would like to wish her every success in her future career and sincerely hope she will remain in contact with the SCI community.

Making a Difference with the Paul Kennedy Bursary

In recognition of the late clinical psychologist and researcher, Professor Paul Kennedy, and to acknowledge the immense contribution he made to the profile and development of the SCI multidisciplinary professional team, MASCIP is establishing an ongoing bursary in his memory.

The Paul Kennedy ‘Making a Difference’ Bursary will be awarded annually to a MASCIP member to use for an initiative that will make an identified difference to the lives of individuals living with a SCI. The initiative could be attending a conference or training event, undertaking a qualification, completing an audit or project, or anything else that can be objectively seen to ‘make a difference’. The award will be a single amount of £1000.
