After 10 years of falling rates, tuberculosis (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. UCL TB are hosting a webinar looking at TB in the UK from all sides, discussing why rates are rising and how we can best respond.
