In Conversation with Professor Dame Elizabeth Anionwu

 

Talk on the Sickle Cell Society’s exhibition about the history of sickle cell disease in the UK.

​

The Sickle Cell Society launched a digital exhibition on the history of sickle cell in the UK at Black Cultural Archives.

​

Our Journey, Our Story: History and Memory of Sickle Cell Anemia in Britain 1950 – 2020 (launched on the BCA website on Monday 25th January) unveils the campaign to make sure that sickle cell was recognised by medical professionals and how treatment has evolved.

​

For the first time, the exhibition collects the testimonies and experiences of people living with sickle cell; photographs and archives about the history of sickle cell campaigning; and original art by Black artists.

​

Come and join us for a conversation around the themes of the exhibition with Professor Dame Elizabeth Anionwu, the first sickle cell nurse specialist.
