About the Queensland Spinal Cord Injuries Service
Please note: QSCIS has developed a new website for health and disability professionals and can be found at: https://qscis.health.qld.gov.au
The resources available on the new website are designed for clinical purposes with the aim of building capacity for acute care, rehabilitation, and community management of spinal cord injury.
Currently there are resources available for bowel and skin management, as well as QSCIS contact and referral information. More resources will be published soon.
