My name is Gaynor and I’m your regional support coordinator.

I was diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome in January 2021 and had to have emergency surgery after attending A&E. Three weeks before, I was diagnosed with sciatica over the phone.

I love spending time with my family and life is about making the best memories.

Book an appointment with me here and I can refer you to the most suitable services available locally and nationally and I can offer my insight and experience into life with a spinal cord injury.

Just choose an available slot below and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
