Telling it like it is
Teina Boyd was a patient in the Burwood Spinal Unit seven years ago. The Cantabrian was a recruit for the New Zealand Police when she fractured her neck at the C5 vertebrae. It changed her life in a moment. Her honest reflections give us a real insight to living life with a spinal cord impairment.




NZ Spinal Cord Injury Registry report released 2021
All spinal cord impairments in New Zealand are recorded in a registry (NZSCIR) which helps to inform research and health care providers in their strategies for services to best support the SCI community.
