University Preparedness Checklist for individuals living with Sickle Cell

Starting university is a big transition, and managing Sickle Cell in a new environment can bring additional things to think about.

This free resource has been created to help students living with Sickle Cell feel more organised and prepared before starting university.

Pleas note:

This checklist is designed specifically for students with Sickle Cell who are preparing to attend university in the UK and includes guidance relevant to studying and accessing support within the UK.

Use the checklist to:

• Identify important healthcare and university contacts
• Prepare for registering with local health services
• Consider your accommodation and support needs
• Think about reasonable adjustments and university support
• Organise important information before you move
• Keep track of what you have already arranged and what still needs to be done
