South East London sickle cell and thalassaemia counselling services

We offer counselling to pregnant women and biological fathers who are carriers of sickle cell, thalssaemia and other unusual haemoglobin types.

We make sure that parents understand what their haemoglobin type means, and provide support to those whose baby may be born with a haemoglobin disorder such as sickle cell disease or beta thalassaemia major.

This service is available to all pregnant mothers who are carriers of an unusual haemoglobin type in Lambeth and Southwark. The service is also available to mothers receiving maternity care at hospitals in Lewisham and Greenwich.

How do I get an appointment?

We contact all women who have screened positive for sickle cell, thalassaemia and other unusual haemoglobin types.
