Course description
This course is open to all interested health professionals who are looking for a rapid update on tuberculosis and tuberculosis control. The course is part of the 3 month course for the Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Hygiene so the orientation is towards practice in developing countries. However the delivery is updated every 6 months in line with new developments in approaches, strategies, tests, and treatments for TB. The content provides a refresher course in the core principles of TB epidemiology and control. Combine this course with the 5 day HIV course the following week for a discounted fee of £999 for both courses. Please search and apply for the 'Combined TB & HIV' course.
