| Spinal Injuries Scotland is the national
voluntary organisation concerned with new and long-term spinal cord
injured people, their relatives and friends, along with those involved
in the management, care and rehabilitation of the injury.
SIS provides immediate support through the office based Information
Service and our Area Representative Network who contact all those
who request assistance. SIS have a Legal and Welfare Rights Advisory
service and also run a self-referral suppport line. Our representatives,
who are able to discuss all aspects of living with a spinal cord
injury, undertake weekly visits to the Queen Elizabeth National
Spinal Injuries Unit. In addition we liaise with other similar voluntary
and professional organisations so that the issues surrounding spinal
cord injury are recognised and understood.
SIS offers a telephone support line, which is manned by staff and
peer volunteers. We also have Legal and Welfare Advisory Services
which deal with more complex issues relating to SCI E.g. queries
with housing and benefits etc.
