Today (September 1st) marks the start of Sickle Cell Awareness Month.

Sickle cell is a genetic hereditary blood disorder that makes it harder for the red cells to move around the body and they can stick together, blocking blood vessels which can cause excruciating pain, anaemia and organ damage.

It most commonly affects people from Black African or Black Caribbean backgrounds. Many patients with sickle cell rely on regular blood transfusions every 4 to 6 weeks.

To get the best treatment, people with sickle cell who have regular transfusions need blood that’s similar to their own. This is why we are using this month to appeal for more blood donors from Black African or Black Carribbean backgrounds.

Book your next appointment now and help us to save lives.
