Sickle cell advocacy
At Geneticlea we work closely with the sickle cell community, including charities, NHS Blood and Transplant and patient advocates. We are passionate about raising awareness of sickle cell disease
We place a particular focus on the genetics of sickle cell and the family planning options available to those at risk of having a child with the condition. An example workshop/panel discussion may include:
