ASCAT 2024 | The importance of personalized pain plans for patients with SCD

Wally Smith, MD, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, briefly discusses the need for implementing personalized pain plans for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) to ensure that care is individualized and that each patient is included in the decision-making process when selecting a pain management strategy. Prof. Smith highlights that clinicians are not adequately communicating with patients to ensure their personal wishes are heard. This interview took place at the 19th Annual Scientific Conference of the Academy for Sickle Cell and Thalassaemia (ASCAT 2024) in London, UK.
