The SCI Clinical Specialist will also act as an educator for healthcare professionals involved in the treatment and care of spinal cord injured people and working in non-specialist settings, and will contribute to the development and delivery of educational offerings available via the SIA Academy.

When required, the SCI Clinical Specialist will support individuals through elements of the NHS Continuing Health Care assessment process, attending review or appeal hearings in their capacity as clinical specialist in SCI care. They will also contribute to the monitoring, evaluation and development of the SCI Specialist Service via mechanisms put in place for that purpose.
