Spinal Seating Professional Development Program

Upcoming Seating & Wheeled Mobility Education Workshops | SSCIS Seating & Wheeled Mobility Education One-Day Skill Development Workshop, Nov 10,2009

Welcome to the Greater Metropolitan Clinical Taskforce (GMCT) NSW State Spinal Cord Injury Service (SSCIS) education website for seating and wheeled mobility. The site has been established to assist health professionals gain knowledge, confidence and understanding in the practice of seating and wheeled mobility prescription. The site's audience is health professional graduate and students working with people who have acquired a spinal cord injury or similar neurological condition.

This education resource has been established as a component of Spinal Seating Professional Development Program, funded by GMCT. Other components of the program include developing a broader network of health professionals and rehabilitation engineers who assess and prescribe seating and wheel mobility, improving competency, developing specialist education sessions and standardisation within the SSCIS specialist seating and wheeled mobility services.

The SSCIS Seating Service provides practical workshop to gain experiential skills and the modules of this site are part of the workshop pre-reading. It is strongly recommended that health professionals participate in hands on workshops lead by clinical experts as an adjunct to didactic and theory based learning.

The project team hope this site is informative and inspires health professionals to continue to network and consult with clients and colleagues, and to gain further knowledge in this interesting and complex area of clinical practice.

The SSCIS is part of the Greater Metropolitan Clinical Taskforce (GMCT) a Ministerial Advisory Group to the NSW Minster of Health and a NSW Health Priority Taskforce Australia.
