📣 Call for participants: Sickle Cell & Learning Disabilities Research

Are you someone living with both sickle cell and learning disabilities, or do you support a family member with these experiences? Researchers are looking to connect with individuals, carers and healthcare professionals to help shape a future PhD project focused on improving healthcare experiences and outcomes.

Currently, there is very limited data on people living with both conditions, making lived experience and community voices essential in helping guide future research and care improvements.

This work is being developed by a learning disability nurse with lived experience of sickle cell, with the aim of ensuring better support and reducing adverse outcomes.

📲 Scan the QR code on the flyer or get in touch directly to share your experiences and interest. Contact details can be found on the flyer.
