To celebrate #WorldSickleCellDay, we'll be sharing a series of short videos created by our paediatric haematology and red cell team. 📹

In our first video, patients Mapaolo, Elle and Jennifer explain what it's like living with the condition 👇

@SickleCellUK | #ShareSickle
"I have been taking hydroxyurea since the age of ten and I have recently started the red cell exchange."

Everyone's treatment journey is different and individual to them - hear from some of our patients about their experiences. #SickleCellAwareness #WorldSickleCellDay
"Having a good support system really does help me feel less alone"

In addition to treatment, some of our patients say talking and sharing their experiences with others helps them to cope with their condition. #SickleCellAwareness #WorldSickleCellDay

We want patients & visitors to stay safe when using our services. This includes observing social distancing; washing hands regularly; and from 15 Jun wearing a face covering when visiting our hospitals or community services. Our Chief Nursing Officer @BleasdaleRob explains why 👇
More guidance about wearing a face covering, and who is exempt, can be found on our website 👇

stgeorges.nhs.uk/news/coronavir…
It's important that you wear your face covering properly:

➡️ Wash your hands before wearing
➡️ Ensure it covers your mouth and nose
➡️ Avoid touching your face

Today, NHS Improvement has published an independent mortality review of our heart surgery service at St George’s Hospital: stgeorges.nhs.uk/newsitem/heart…

The review found failings in the care we gave many heart surgery patients between 2013-2018, and we are deeply sorry for this. [1/4]
We would like to say sorry to the relatives of those patients who were let down by us – the care they received fell far short of the high standards they deserved.

We are in direct contact with relatives, and continuing to offer them all the support we can. [2/4]
Our heart surgery service is now safe, and the current service is very different to the one we took urgent steps to improve. This was confirmed by the @CareQualityComm in their latest report: cqc.org.uk/location/RJ701 [3/4]

To minimise the risk of Coronavirus infection, we have decided to temporarily restrict visiting arrangements at our hospitals.

Full details here: stgeorges.nhs.uk/newsitem/coron…
We are asking friends & relatives to only visit patients if absolutely essential. They should also not visit our hospitals if they have flu-like symptoms, cough, fever or a cold.
If you really do need to visit, please only do so between 5-7pm (weekdays and weekends), with an absolute maximum of two visitors per patient.
