Invasive procedures for people with sickle cell disease
This investigation set out to review the care of patients with sickle cell disease who need to have an invasive procedure. The investigation focused on: how haematology teams – the specialists who treat people with blood disorders – are involved and informed when a patient with sickle cell disease is treated in another area of healthcare; how patients with sickle cell disease are prepared for invasive procedures; and how and where clinical information relevant to the patient is shared.
