The Sickle Cell Disease ECHO program is a regularly scheduled educational series designed to enhance the knowledge, skills, and confidence of healthcare professionals caring for individuals living with sickle cell disease across the lifespan. The program will be delivered virtually through videoconference and will engage healthcare providers from community hospitals, regional centres, primary care, specialty clinics, and other healthcare settings. Led by an interprofessional hub team with expertise in pediatric and adult sickle cell disease, the program aims to strengthen capacity in community and regional care settings through mentorship, education, and collaborative learning.

Each session will include a brief evidence-informed didactic presentation on a topic relevant to sickle cell disease, followed by a case-based discussion of a de-identified patient case presented by a participant. Attendees will have opportunities to ask questions, share experiences, and contribute evidence-based recommendations. Consistent with the Project ECHO model’s “all teach, all learn” philosophy, the program will foster a community of practice that promotes knowledge exchange, improves access to specialist expertise, and supports the delivery of high-quality sickle cell disease care.
