Details

The aim of this resource is to support both clinical and non-clinical professionals involved in the management of TB in low incidence areas. It details:

  • some of the challenges but also possible solutions to managing TB in these areas
  • examples of best practice

The incidence of TB in England is declining and as a result more areas are becoming areas of low TB incidence. It is recognised that caring for TB patients in these areas brings challenges and this resource has been written to support regional TB control boards, clinical teams and other partners. This resource aims to strengthen their ability to manage TB in their community.
