Brief description This novel study’s purpose is to improve the care and quality of life of people afflicted by spinal cord injury. The study will map the early clinical journey from injury to specialized spinal care, identifying factors which impact on health and quality of life up to a year after injury. The focus will be on whether a delay of more than 24 hours to specialized care worsens the outcomes. This will be the first Australian study examining the early care of patients with a spinal cord injury.
