The Sickle Cell Society is having open discussions about challenging subjects in this podcast.
There are challenges to living with sickle cell disorder, and there are a lot of subjects that aren't openly discussed, in a way that might help others to live their best life with the condition. We are unpicking some subjects by inviting sickle cell doctors and patients onto the podcast couch to share their experiences and answer questions.
