The introduction of the Universal Care Plan, OneLondon’s shared care planning solution powered by Better, has been hailed as a key improvement in the care of sickle cell patients, a group historically disadvantaged by misconceptions and poor-quality care.
The personalised care plan is designed to address individual patient needs, ensuring that preferences are documented in advance, which is particularly crucial for those who may experience severe pain and struggle to advocate for themselves.
