Building a UK spinal cord injury strategy - insights from Canada
The countdown to our Rebuilding Lives conference really kicked off this week, with our international webinar ‘Building a UK SCI strategy – insights from Canada’.
Guest speaker John Chernesky from Praxis (spinal cord institute) joined SIA director of programmes Mark Ridler, giving a fascinating insight into the landscape of spinal cord injury care in Canada, and how important a National Strategy is:
You need to ensure that there’s a national standard so that everybody’s playing from the same playbook. We all understand what optimal care looks like and we’re all trying to achieve it in a similar fashion. Working from the latest knowledge, tracking how we’re doing and what needs to change.” – John Chernusky
Thursday 2 and Friday 3 October 2025 (Stadium MK, Milton Keynes)
The Rebuilding Lives Conference brings together the spinal cord injury community, giving people the chance to learn more about the impact of SCI and exploring how the sector can work together to achieve improved outcomes for life after injury.
