Episode Details

NHS England issues urgent alert: Sickle cell crises are life-threatening emergencies requiring immediate hospital care. Misshapen red blood cells block blood flow, causing excruciating pain, fever, confusion, vision loss, and more. If you or someone with sickle cell shows any warning signs—especially during a crisis—get to A&E fast. While treatable with meds and transfusions, the only cure is high-risk stem cell transplant. Newborn screening catches it early, but symptoms vary widely. Awareness and speed can save lives.
