Our mission is to support and oversee the safe, effective delivery of care for individuals living with sickle cell disease (SCD) and thalassaemia across West London.
As inherited blood disorders primarily affecting Black and minority ethnic populations, these conditions often require lifelong specialist care. Our goal is to promote clinical excellence, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the care experience by working closely with networks, specialist teams, and local healthcare providers. Through collaboration, we ensure clear care pathways and access to expert support.
