London Ambulance Service has unveiled a new action plan developed with the Croydon Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia Support Group.

It aims to improve care for sickle cell patients across the capital.

The plan calls for better pain relief, tailored care plans, and clearer routes to specialist units.

It builds on past work to improve the 5,700 annual sickle cell responses with more compassionate, timely care.
