A dedicated set of resources for your information, to provide support and guidance tailored to individuals living with red cell disorders including Sickle Cell Disease, Thalassaemia and Rare Inherited Anaemias.
The Patient Hub contains a range of helpful resources to support your journey, from practical tools in our Patient Resources section and essential advice in the Patient Videos & Leaflets. For more support, our Useful Links provide easy access to additional trusted resources.
We need interested individuals who use our services, including parents, carers and patients, to share their views on service development and attend virtual meetings via Microsoft Teams. There’ll be up to six network meetings per year to contribute to network discussions. Please email the team at kch-tr.selsehccadmin@nhs.net if you’re interested in being involved, and also if you have any articles or comments for upcoming Newsletters.
A National Haemoglobinopathy Panel (NHP) was also created, to provide expert, multidisciplinary advice on difficult decisions about the management of patients with sickle cell disease, thalassaemia and some other rare anaemias. KCH, GSTT and the Evelina were also appointed to jointly host this panel, which will work closely with the SELSE HCC and other HCCs across England.
