Sacral plexus branches (mnemonic)

Last revised by Daniel MacManus on 12 Mar 2021

A handy mnemonic to recall the branches of the sacral plexus is:

  • Six Ps: as all of the nerves of the anterior rami (prior to its division) start with the letter P
  • SLIP, DSP: if you slip over, you may need to go on the DSP (Disability Support Pension)

Mnemonic

Six Ps
SLIP, DSP
