If you suspect serious trauma with possible spinal injury, the priority is still to protect the airway and breathing; carefully log-roll the casualty into a position that maintains an open airway with minimal movement and call 999 for urgent help. Leaving an unresponsive casualty on their back with a compromised airway is more immediately life-threatening than the risk of cautious movement.
