Dr Ball's presentation focussed on the early medical and surgical management of spinal cord injuries.
A wide range of participants
who are involved in the management and care of individual’s with spinal cord injury across the continuum of care
attended this course. This included those
from both metropolitan and rural areas working in various clinical areas from a mix of disciplines including nursing, social work, physio and occupational therapy.
Dr Ball and his colleague Dr Bill Sears are the two neurosurgeons at the Royal North Shore Hospital (RNS) Spinal Injuries Unit, providing services to spinal injured patients from the northern half of NSW. The RNS unit is the only NSW spinal cord injuries unit in a major Level 1 trauma centre. One of Dr Ball's key interests is the management of spinal cord injury and he is excited by the opportunity to share his passion for this area of his work.
