Let’s Talk TB in the UK

TB is a serious, treatable illness that has been increasing across the nation.
Compounded by persistent stigma and misinformation, this trend threatens to undermine our national efforts to eliminate the disease. Successfully controlling TB requires a system-wide, integrated approach. This requires the involvement of service providers already known and trusted by the communities most affected by the illness, but who may lack the knowledge to address TB.

This training is designed for

• Secure and migrant health settings – prisons, asylum accommodation, immigration removal centres

• Accommodation settings – those working in hotels, hostels, night shelters, refuges, houses of multiple occupation

• Community groups and services – workers in drug and alcohol services, local authority frontline services, voluntary sector frontline service providers, faith groups, community groups

This training is designed to improve TB awareness, overcome barriers to care and strengthen social support across the entire TB pathway.
