🩸 This #WorldSickleCellDay we’re highlighting the importance of screening. The NHS offers antenatal & newborn screening for sickle cell via a simple blood test. Early testing = informed choices & better care. @givebloodlove #SickleCellAwareness #KnowYourStatus

Konnor Ewudzi joined us on the iconic Supacell estate to share how sickle cell has impacted his family — with 8 relatives affected. “Testing is so key — and blood donation even more so.” Thank you, Konnor, for helping raise awareness. #WorldSickleCellDay #SickleCellAwareness
