OER Description:
These OER have been bundled up into a case study that would be a useful discussion-aid for bioscience or medical students. We may all be familiar with the morphology of the red blood cells in sickle cell anaemia, and this resource includes images of those alongside biochemical tests that would be carried out to further examine the patient.
