Thanks to Charity funding, Dr Layan Allawi set about improving the care of sickle cell patients by producing a bespoke training video. The video is now used to address the lack of knowledge and awareness about the disease amongst healthcare professionals.

It also addresses the sad story of Tyrone Airey, who sadly died, when he didn’t receive the right treatment when he came into hospital with a sickle cell crisis, and what we have learned from the mistakes that were made.
