On Saturday and Sunday 2nd and 3rd February 2008 the 8th Annual Dressage Competition in aid of Spinal Research was once again held at the Brackenhurst Equestrian Centre, hosted by Nottingham Trent University. The week previous to the competition, we had been promised snow and sleet, and we trembled for fear we would have to cancel, but our luck held out with clear but cold and calm conditions and the classes were full to bursting from first thing in the morning until late in the afternoon.

Nathalie Rose Barr PhD Studentships: Call for Proposals 2008
02 January 08
We wish to continue our support for trainee research scientists leading to a PhD degree from higher education institutes within the UK. Our aim is to encourage high-quality research into regeneration and repair in the injured spinal cord, and to foster a new generation of dedicated scientists and clinicians with the necessary breadth of skills and experience to develop treatments for spinal cord injury. These awards will either be 3 or 4-year studentships for science graduates or 3-year awards for clinicians who have already gained their MRCP or equivalent. [more]

How far are we from a cure?
30 October 07
This is an often asked question and one not easily answered. There have been more than 30 clinical trials relating to spinal cord injury in recent years, most looking at neuroprotective strategies administered very soon after the initial injury or examining the benefits of particular surgical techniques to stabilise or reducing pressure on the cord due to the column fracture.
