This is the first nursing textbook looking at the increasing problem of treating and counselling people with SCD and thalassaemia in both acute and community settings. It gives a brief outline of the migration patterns of 'at risk' populations and epidemiology, putting it into the context of clinical practice. All aspects of the diseases, their manifestation, course and management, and preventative measures are fully explained. The clinical, psychological, social and political implications are discussed. Each chapter gives learning objectives, discussion points, and time out exercises. The authors are all leading experts in their fields and have written a lively, authoritative resource for all health care professionals.
