À propos de ce contenu audio

For many living with sickle cell, hospital visits are not just a possibility—they’re a certainty. But beyond the physical pain, hospitalisation can bring fear, anxiety, and even trauma. From being dismissed or misunderstood by medical staff to the emotional toll of frequent admissions, the experience can deeply impact mental well-being.

In this episode, a patient and a carer share their stories of hospital stays—the good, the bad, and the truly difficult. How does repeated hospitalisation affect mental health? What needs to change in healthcare settings to better support sickle cell patients? And how can individuals and families prepare for these inevitable moments?

Join host Leah Lewin and guests Hayley and Funmi for a raw and necessary conversation about the emotional side of hospital care.
