The Study Day programme has been developed in order to provide healthcare professionals working in non-specialist settings with knowledge of the complex and sometimes unique issues that affect people with spinal cord injury, and is a valuable opportunity to see experts in the field at first hand.

The Study Day will run from 9.00am to 4.00pm (approx) and lunch and refreshments will be provided. Places are limited so please ensure you book soon to avoid disappointment. There are some exhibiting opportunities available at this event; please email k.mikalsen@spinal.co.uk for more details.
