Sickle Cell

Episode 3 of 8

Hospital documentary. Through one of the most senior Matrons, the film crew meet two sufferers of sickle cell anaemia, a chronic condition about which little is known.

For the critically ill, nursing care is a lifeline, and a hospital ward can become a second home.

Sickle cell anaemia is a chronic condition which can put sufferers in hospital up to six times a year, yet we know precious little about one of the most commonly inherited diseases in Britain. Through one of Whipps' most senior Matrons, we meet two sufferers battling this disease.
