Peer Link Scheme
Our expanding team of Peer Link Workers based within the Spinal Cord Injury Centres are there to assist those about to be discharged by offering one-to-one support to ensure that the transition from hospital to home is as smooth as possible.
Our Peer Link worker at the Middlesbrough SCI Centre is Shaun Lacey, who
maintains regular contact, either by telephone or email, with those who have
been recently discharged to offer help with any initial concerns. Shaun
swaps contact details prior to discharge using our
Peer Link card, and continues to keep in touch until
the newly-discharged person feels confident enough to go it alone.
