The one day conference will be held at The Carlu in Toronto on June 13, 2013, starting at 8:00 AM. The event will be of interest to those involved in the advocacy and care of individuals who have suffered a serious injury, such as health care professionals, social workers, life care planners, discharge planners and occupational therapists.
According to Spinal Cord Injury Canada, there are over 86,000 people living with spinal cord injuries in the country, and every year it is estimated there are more than 4,300 new spinal cord injury cases in Canada. Slightly more than half of the incidents of spinal cord injury in Canada are the result of a traumatic event, such as an accident, and nearly half are the result of a non-traumatic event, such as a disease. Understanding the issues central to recovery from spinal cord injury will better help any professional involved in related care and work.
The conference on catastrophic impairment seeks to accomplish a number of goals. The conference aims to provide information central to effective legal advocacy in a spinal cord injury case. The conference will also provide information on the latest developments in spinal cord treatment and rehabilitation as well as provide a forum to discuss care and treatment strategies. Finally, the conference aims to enhance the funding of St. Michael's Hospital and Toronto Western Hospital. To accomplish these goals a range of issues will be addressed at the conference. Speakers will address issues from research on spinal cord injury concerning stem cell advances to life care planning.
