This should include looking into necessary training for professionals on sickle cell disease, establishing treatment centres with resources for pain management, and promoting diversity within the NHS to ensure equitable care for all.

Enough is Enough! We believe that the NHS have neglected sickle cell patients and it has gone on for far too long. We can no longer stand by while lives are lost. The lives of sickle cell patients matter. It’s time to take action.
