Fellow’s Profile
Dame Elizabeth Anionwu
Prevention of perinatal mortality and morbidity of sickle cell disease
Biography
I was a nurse, health visitor, and the very first UK sickle cell nurse specialist. I am now an Emeritus Professor of Nursing at the University of West London and a patron of the Sickle Cell Society.
The focus of my Fellowship in 1981 was to explore the prevention of perinatal mortality and morbidity in relation to sickle cell disease in the USA and Jamaica. My Fellowship greatly supported the development of my sickle cell post and other similar specialist nursing positions across the country. It was influential in enabling me to become a national and international expert on nursing and sickle cell disease.
I have delivered numerous lectures, run courses, given media interviews, and published many articles and several books, including my memoirs. I have also been awarded many honours, including the Order of Merit, DBE, CBE, two nursing fellowships, and six honorary doctorates.
