Sickle cell and thalassaemia: checks and audits to improve quality and reduce risks

Sickle cell and thalassaemia: checks and audits to improve quality and reduce risks Each NHS screening programme has a defined pathway(s). The pathways show how the individual undergoing screening moves form one stage of the pathway to the next. Checks are needed at each stage to ensure the individual moves seamlessly and safely through the pathway unless they chose not to. If these checks are not in place there is risk that an individual does not complete the pathway or the pathway is delayed unnecessarily. Public Health England
