The number of people ageing with spinal cord injury (SCI) is increasing - and they are living longer.

It candidly explores their occupational impacts and the assumptions around obesity - drawing on experience working in the field of substance use. Read it here - or on-the-go, via The OT Hub app.

Get updated on this and other OT news and stories, from around the world.
