Implementation of SPACES for patients with sCES resulted in a substantial reduction in waiting time for MRI and decreased the number of transfers to the regional hub hospital. Based on our early experience, we encourage other centres within the UK to introduce such a pathway locally, to improve the management of patients with sCES.
