Sickle-cell disease.

There are 14 modules, in multimedia format and in English and French languages, addressing major issues in sickle cell disease, interspersed with multiple choice questions which allow self assessment of the individual’s knowledge and proficiency. These modules have been prepared and recorded by 11 different experts from Belgium, the Democratic Republic of Congo, France, India, Jamaica and Monaco. Training booklets providing further details are appended to the modules. This basic format is supplemented by recorded interviews with experts from North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and India. There is also a recording of a Debate on Ethical issues arising from current approaches such as the role of population screening, newborn screening and prenatal diagnosis.
