Today, on World Sickle Cell Day, we want to take time to celebrate the progress made in recent years regarding medical advances for people living with sickle cell disorder and Improved Standards of Care (through our No One’s Listening campaign). We'll be sharing advances that have been made as well as advocating for greater awareness and more support.

Our mission still remains to represent people, patients and families affected by sickle cell disorder to improve their overall quality of life. Join us in helping to raise awareness to talk about and embrace topics such as Priapism, amongst many other issues, which continue to need advancements in medical support and understanding.

What is 'health economics?!' 🤓

Being able to effectively communicate: why, what, and how we work in health economics is essential. Working in silos means that there are fewer opportunities for creative solutions and joined-up thinking. 📣

At QC Medica we recognise the importance of breaking down silos to help people collaborate across boundaries. That's why over the past semester it has been exciting to host three teams of students from the University of Liverpool tasked with creating new ideas for how we can better translate our purpose, research approach, and study findings.

The three teams have been reviewing our approaches across: digital marketing/stategy and business development and providing suggestions for improvements. Indeed, over the past week it has been great to meet many of the teams at our offices at Avenue HQ (thanks Magdalena!)

It has been a pleasure to share ideas and hear fresh perspectives with many intelligent and enthusiastic minds. As a testament to their comprehensive research, in the coming weeks/months, we look forward to implementing several suggestions shared.

We wish to congratulate all teams on their great work and share our best wishes in their future endeavours! 🎉

World Sickle Cell Day 2022!

Sickle cell disease is the name for a group of inherited health conditions that affect the red blood cells.

People with sickle cell disease produce unusually shaped red blood cells that can cause problems because they do not live as long as healthy blood cells and can block blood vessels.

Sickle cell disease is a serious and lifelong health condition, although treatment can help manage many of the symptoms.

To learn more, see: https://www.sicklecellsociety.org/

Did you know that Sickle Cell Disorder affects approximately 1 in every 2000 live births in England - making it one of the most common genetic conditions affecting people in England?

As the UK’s only national charity that supports and represents people affected by sickle cell disorder, this World Sickle Cell Day, we’re calling for greater investment and funding into sickle cell disorder.
