For Medical Professionals

Friends at a Back-Up Event

Are you a qualified doctor, nurse, carer or even a trained psychologist?  Want to develop your skills in a different environment?

The Back-Up Trust needs all of the above to support spinally injured participants on a range courses; from skiing in the USA and kayaking in Wales to supporting our mentoring project that helps people with spinal cord injury come to terms with their traumatic life change.

‘Our spinally trained nurses return from the courses more highly motivated and enthusiastic people.’ Stoke Mandeville Spinal Centre

The cost of your place/expenses will be met by the charity in return for your time and skills. You may even get additional leave to help us, or it may help towards gaining a further qualification.  What ever your reason for getting in touch you can be guaranteed a great time!

‘By participating in one of the multi activity weeks, I could see first hand what individuals could achieve with the help of skilled instructors, plenty of equipment and enthusiastic buddies. I even had the opportunity to try new experiences myself!’ Spinal Nurse
