A.C.T. N.O.W. Sickle Cell Acronym Pilot
About the pilot
NHS London is leading a pilot to enable clinical colleagues working in emergency departments to support clinicians and help them act appropriately when a patient displays signs of a sickle cell crisis.
The pilot is a result of the recommendations and challenges highlighted in the ‘No One’s Listening report’ from an All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) meeting in 2022, which identified avoidable deaths and failures of care for sickle cell patients in secondary care.
