Our workshop ‘Understanding Spinal Cord Injury’ is for personal carers who have clients with a spinal cord injury living in the community.
The workshop gives an overview of the causes and effects of a spinal cord injury and the specific personal care tasks that participants might be delivering. It also explores the underlying reasons why these procedures are so important to the client’s health.
Participants have come from both public and private sector agencies. They are usually personal carers, service coordinators, community support staff, family members or anyone involved in supporting a person with a spinal cord injury.
The workshop is run with trainer presentations, small group sessions and practical demonstrations. More detailed course content is available here
