10 SA Spinal Cord Injury Research Centre (SASCIRC) What is the SASCIRC? The SASCIRC has had a presence within the Spinal Injuries Unit since Originally known as the FES Clinic, the centre has maintained a research and a clinical role for many years. In 1997 the FES Clinic moved its focus mainly to research, with new funding from the Motor Accident Commission (MAC), and became the FES Unit. Research into body composition and bone metabolic changes after SCI - the FESAbility study - raised the Unit s research profile, attracting private and corporate sponsorship including a one-man effort by former SIU patient Terry Powell who raised research funds by walking from Adelaide to Mt Gambier. A display of research posters from the work of the SASCIRC and the Spinal Injuries Unit can be seen in the northwest corridor of the Therapy Complex. In recent years, the Research Centre has developed strong interests in neuroscience and biotechnology aspects of Spinal Cord Injury research, looking into particular biochemical factors which may influence recovery from SCI (e.g. currently working on the ProgIND Study). This has prompted the change of name to SASCIRC. The Research Centre has now participated in several multi-centre trials of new therapeutic agents of potential value in Spinal Cord Injury, sponsored by international pharmaceutical companies. Inpatients and Outpatients of both the RAH and HRC Spinal Unit may be approached seeking their participation in research activities. Participation is voluntary. All research projects are conducted according to the guidelines of the RAH Human Research Ethics Committee, under the leadership of Dr. Ruth Marshall, Director of OASIRS and the SASCIS. 14 th Edition Dec
11 Outpatient Medical Services Once you have been discharged from the SIU, there is a system of medical follow-up in the Outpatient Department. This is designed to monitor any changes, deal with any issues that may arise, and provide specialist advice regarding your spinal cord injury. It is expected however, that your routine medical care will be managed by your General Practitioner. Review Appointments Initially after leaving the SIU you will be given a review appointment somewhere between one week and three months post discharge. Depending on how stable your neurological status is, further appointments will be booked as the doctor feels it is appropriate. For the first few years post discharge, most people will be reviewed at least once per year and most will be reviewed much more often in the first 2 years. Regular Tests Most people will have one or a number of tests regularly in order to monitor health and ensure that your medications are working as they should. These tests may include: Blood tests Urine micro and culture Renal and bladder ultrasound The normal procedure for these routine tests will be that you will receive a letter when you need to have a test. The letter will give you information about how to book the test. You will need to arrange to have the test done, and the results will be forwarded to your GP and to the Spinal Injury Unit. If a follow-up appointment is required with a Spinal 14 th Edition Dec
12 Unit doctor, you will be contacted to set this up. Sometimes, if you have a urinary tract infection, you may be contacted to set up an appointment with your GP as your GP will usually be able to see you more quickly than you can be seen at the SIU. Improvement or Deterioration It is important that you monitor how you are going after discharge. If there is a significant change in your functioning, it is important that you contact your GP about it. Your GP may then suggest that you book an appointment with your doctor here, if the change requires the involvement of a specialist. The doctors here are also available to give advice to your GP, regarding things like adjusting your medications or management of changes in your spasticity levels. If there is a significant change in your level of functioning, then your specialist may wish to involve the allied health therapists to work on certain skills. This may be possible as an outpatient, or may involve a short admission as an inpatient depending on your needs. 14 th Edition Dec
