Information leaflets

SPAH has developed a number of information leaflets for patients, families and professionals. Other leaflets are in development, please check back soon for more information.

The network produced a booklet; “Sickle Cell – a guide for teachers” to try to help schools and teachers better understand the condition.  A Transcranial Doppler Scan – child friendly leaflet has also been developed.  If you would like a copy of either documents, please ask your local doctor or nurse for a copy as they are not available electronically.
