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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The network produced a booklet; “Sickle Cell – a guide for teachers”<\/strong> to try to help schools and teachers better understand the condition. A Transcranial Doppler Scan \u2013 child friendly leaflet <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Acute Chest Syndrome in Sickle Cell disease<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Calling for an ambulance during a sickle crisis<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hydroxycarbamide treatment in adults with Sickle Cell disease<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Information for patients with Sickle Cell disease who may need a transfusion<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sickle Cell disease – a travel guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Acute Chest Syndrome in Sickle Cell disease<\/a><\/strong> (parent\/carer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hydroxycarbamide in Sickle Cell disease<\/strong><\/a> (parent\/carer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Priapism in Sickle Cell disease<\/a><\/strong> (parent\/carer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sickle Cell disease – a travel guide<\/a><\/strong> (parent\/carer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n A child with Sickle Cell disease on Vaccinations <\/a><\/strong>(parent\/carer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Caring for your unwell child with Sickle Cell disease<\/a><\/strong> (parent\/carer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Information on transfusion dependent Thalassaemia<\/a><\/strong> (parent\/carer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Information on Trans Cranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound in NHS GG&C<\/a><\/strong> (parent\/carer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Information on Trans Cranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound outwith NHS GG&C<\/a><\/strong> (parent\/carer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Priapism in Sickle Cell disease<\/a><\/strong> (young person)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Managing Iron Overload<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Currently used in Greater Glasgow & Clyde, the Painful Sickle Cell Crisis Flowchart<\/strong><\/a> is a useful teaching aid for new parents and also helps teenagers become more independent in managing their pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GP Sickle Cell Adult Management<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sickle Cell Disease Information for GPs: Patient management of Young Person in Primary Care<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nInformation for Adult Patients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
