Helping patients with Ageing Well with Sickle Cell
The Ageing Well With Sickle Cell Project was launched together with King’s Charity and the Sickle Cell Society. Together we are looking to identify and address what matters most to people living with sickle cell disorder over the age of 35.
Patients with sickle cell are ageing faster than the general population. We asked experts how this project could help, and also interviewed patients Fawn and Emma to find out what the project means to them.
