SIA welcomes Coloplast as its first Healthcare Solutions Partner
Spinal Injuries Association are proud to announce Coloplast as our first Healthcare Solutions Partner, a new partnership model dedicated to companies providing high-quality healthcare products for the spinal cord injury (SCI) community.
More than 105,000 people in the UK live with a spinal cord injury, and every two hours someone is newly injured. We know from our annual What Matters survey that for many in this community, bladder, bowel and skin health are everyday priorities, and among the areas people most want better information and support on.
With long-established partnerships in the care and legal sectors, launching these new Healthcare Solutions Partnerships gives us the opportunity to widen the support, expertise and experience available through our network.
We’ll also be working with Coloplast on an exciting project to develop our Knowledge Hub, which will modernise the education resources available to SIA members. Using clinical expertise and lived experience, the project will create trusted resources on bowel, bladder and skin health for people living with SCI and their families.
The bowel, bladder and skin areas of our Knowledge Hub will be updated over the coming months, and we’re excited to share the finished product with you soon.
Alison Hayward – SIA Partnership Manager, said:
We’re thrilled to welcome Coloplast as our first Healthcare Solutions Partner. Bladder, bowel and skin health have such a huge impact on daily life after spinal cord injury, and our community has consistently told us they want more trusted, accessible information in this area. It’s an exciting first step in building a wider network of partners who share our vision of a fulfilled life for everyone affected by SCI

Becoming a Trusted Partner of Spinal Injuries Association reflects our shared commitment to improving support for people living with spinal cord injury. We look forward to working closely with SIA, combining their insight and community expertise with Coloplast’s experience in bladder, bowel and skin care to help people access trusted information and support.
