Today, on #WindrushDay, I think back to 2015 when we organised the NHS’ first national event, at St Thomas’ Hospital, in celebration of the passengers of the SS Empire Windrush, and their contribution and legacy to the NHS workforce that we have today. 1/5 🧵

Thank you @DrHNaqvi . A really important piece of work with evidence to highlight the obvious. Let's hope this will now bring the change we want to see in #SickleCell @SickleCellUK
We’re pleased to launch this important report - a report that highlights the challenges related to sickle cell care, and offers evidence-based solutions for meaning transformation. In this context, the report is more than just a call to action - it’s a roadmap for change!
