Essential care plans: helping people with spinal cord injury stay safe and heard

An Essential Care Plan (ECP) helps bridge the gap when someone with a spinal cord injury is being cared for by staff who don’t know their body, routines or warning signs, whether that’s in hospital, A&E or with a new carer.

Jin Garcha, our Clinical Director, explains why keeping an ECP current and visible can help prevent avoidable complications like pressure injuries, infections and autonomic dysreflexia.
