Event details

Registration is now open for the joint UCL-TB and LSHTM TB Centre event World TB Day 2015: What do we need to know to reach, treat and cure everyone with TB?, which will take place on Tuesday 24 March at the UCL Institute of Child Health, London.

The event will bring together world-renowned national and international experts to present the latest research working towards reaching, treating and curing people with tuberculosis, to highlight key issues facing TB researchers, and to explore possible solutions.

The meeting will also review the new Public Health England and NHS England collaborative five year national strategy to eliminate TB, as its implementation begins. This is the first time the UK has had a national strategy so the event will provide TB specialists the unique opportunity to come together and discuss how best to implement the strategy, and identify possible risks and opportunities.

Through bringing a wide range of researchers together we aim to encourage cross-disciplinary links and collaborations between scientists and clinicians at the forefront of the TB field, with the hope of cultivating innovative new research projects and ultimately improving patient outcomes in London and across the world.
