TB in the UK webinar

TB in the UK event image

An event to discuss how we should respond to the current state of UK TB

Thursday 6th February 2025 15:00-17:00 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.
