Our Aim

The overarching aim of the NENC Spinal Delivery Network is to help define standards and pathways to improve access and care for patients presenting with spinal conditions electively and in emergency.

Our Vision

To minimise the requirement for Spinal Care
Data and audit – To ensure that we are sharing relevant information across the network and using data and evidence to drive service improvement and improve outcomes, focusing on excellent data entry on the British Spine Registry (BSR).
