Personal injury lawyer welcomes the launch of the Queen Elizabeth Spinal Injuries Unit app

As Head of Personal Injury at Irwin Mitchell Scotland, I'm delighted to welcome the launch of the Queen Elizabeth Spinal Injuries Unit app by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. This innovative digital service is a significant step forward in supporting individuals and families affected by spinal injuries.

Addressing the needs of those living with spinal injuries

Spinal injuries can be life-altering, not only for the individuals who sustain them but also for their families and caregivers. The journey from injury to rehabilitation is often fraught with challenges, uncertainties, and the need for comprehensive information and support. The new app addresses these needs by providing a centralised, user-friendly platform that offers detailed information about the unit, its services, and the care provided.

One of the most commendable features of the app is its inclusivity. It offers a space for current and former patients to share their stories, fostering a sense of community and support. Additionally, it provides valuable information on partner organisations that offer further assistance, ensuring that users have access to a broad network of support.

How can the app help?

The app's development involved extensive collaboration with patients, charities, partners, and staff, reflecting a commitment to creating a resource that truly meets the needs of its users. This collaborative approach is crucial in ensuring that the app remains relevant and continues to evolve based on user feedback.

As a personal injury lawyer, I understand the profound impact that spinal injuries can have on individuals and their families. At Irwin Mitchell, we're committed to supporting our clients through every stage of their journey, from initial injury to rehabilitation and beyond. The launch of this app aligns perfectly with our mission to provide holistic support to those affected by personal injuries.

How to access the app

We encourage all patients, relatives, and caregivers to utilise this app and provide feedback to help it grow and improve. Together, we can ensure that those living with spinal injuries receive the comprehensive support they need to navigate their journey with confidence and hope.
