An upcoming UCL-TB Webinar: “TB in the UK”
UCL-TB is organizing a webinar on “TB in the UK” on Thursday, 6th February 2025, from 15:00 to 17:00 GMT
After 10 years of falling rates, TB in the UK is on the rise. This comes at a time when the demands placed on an over-stretched workforce are already increasing and the NHS is struggling to match expectation with delivery. We thought, therefore, it was a good time to look at TB in the UK from all sides and to discuss why rates are rising, and how we can best respond.
In this 2-hour webinar, a short overview from key stakeholders will be followed by expert panel discussion and questions from the audience.
