Conversation, experiences and insights relating to #sicklecell #sicklecellawareness #thalassaemia #community #birmingham #health

[OSCARBham @OSCARBham]

If a person with #sicklecell say they are in pain, we must respect that and treat it promptly and appropriately.

Professionals, clinicians, teachers and employers should be aware of the signs of a pain crisis.

Ask yourself, Can you tell it’s Sickle Cell?
