•Only patients with a recent onset SCI will be eligible for inclusion. The onset of the SCI could occur either as a result of illness or trauma that led to hospitalisation, or developed during a hospital admission of another condition. Patients with either non-traumatic spinal cord injury or traumatic spinal cord injury will be included.

•Patients will be excluded if either of the following apply, they:
•Have an established SCI that existed before presentation at hospital or
•Have an acquired brain injury, either pre-existing or related to their SCI, or other cognitive problems such as dementia that may impact upon their ability to learn complex information and provide informed consent.
•Are unable to provide informed consent and read the patient-specific information due to their level of English comprehension.
•Have an established pelvic region pressure ulcer at time of enrolment (as this will limit the ability of the patient to participate fully in the interventions offered by the team and assessed by the primary outcome measure)
•Have a complete tetraplegia at the eighth cervical spinal cord level or above
