Sickle Cell Society Podcast

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.

About us

We're the Sickle Cell Society, and we're the UK’s patient charity for people living with sickle cell disorder.

We believe that people living with the condition have the right to quality care. We support and represent people, patients and families affected by sickle cell disorder to improve their overall quality of life.

We work with health care professionals, pharmaceutical companies, researchers, parliamentarians, parents, and people living with sickle cell to support and advise, raise awareness of the disorder and campaign for improvements in treatments and care. Our aim is to support those living with sickle cell, empowering them to achieve their full potential.
