NATIONAL SPINAL INJURIES CENTRE

The NSIC is a 106 bed dedicated spinal injuries centre providing comprehensive care to adult patients with acute spinal injury and the lifelong complications of cord injury.
We offer rehabilitation to children with spinal cord injury in a dedicated paediatric unit.

The NSIC normally aims to admit patients with acute spinal cord and cauda equine damage.
Who are medically fit for transfer, within the first 24 hours following traumatic or stable non – progressive cord injury secondary to e.g vascular damage, infection or haemorrhage.
Patients with cord injury requiring ventilation are also accepted.

Patients with established cord injury who become acutely unwell are admitted dependant on availability of appropriate bed.

THE NSIC also admits children under the age of 16 for rehabilitation once they have commenced mobilisation after injury.
Services provided by the Centre include medical, nursing, physio and occupational therapy and outpatient appointments.
