Luton Health Visitor Elizabeth, with the support of Dr. Woolaway, Director of Public Health, and Dr. Wood, Consultant Haematologist at Luton and Dunstable Hospital, established the Luton & Dunstable Sickle Cell and Thalassemia service to provide essential care and support. The Luton Sickle Cell Group was later founded by Hyacinth McPherson and Brian Hussain-King to further these efforts.
As Black History Month 2024 comes to a close, we extend a heartfelt Thank You for their dedicated work in developing services for the treatment and care of those affected by sickle cell and thalassemia. Their commitment continues to make a lasting impact on our community.
