Sickle cell London research awareness event

Come join us for a day filled with learning and awareness about sickle cell research. This in-person event aims to bring the community together to shed light on the latest advancements in sickle cell research.

As sickle cell disease disproportionately affects people from a Black background, we encourage sickle cell patients from minority ethnic communities to attend, as we are aiming to increase the diversity of patients involved in research.

Whether you're a patient, caregiver, researcher, or simply interested in the topic, this event is for you! Let's come together to support each other and raise awareness about this important cause.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a ticketed event. We ask that attendees book one ticket per person.
