The NHS today becomes the first healthcare system in the world to provide a new blood group genotyping test which is set to transform care for patients living with sickle cell disorder and thalassaemia, with almost 18,000 people in England now being eligible. The tests will be carried out at NHSBT’s Molecular Diagnostics department in Bristol.
