TB is a major public health problem in London, especially among hard to reach groups [homeless people, drug or alcohol users and prisoners].
Rates of TB in London are higher that any other Western European capital city [click here to see TB rates across Europe]
Find & Treat and the Mobile X-ray Unit (MXU) work alongside front-line services to tackle TB among hard to reach groups. We are a multidisciplinary team of TB nurse specialists, social and outreach workers, radiographers and expert technicians. Our job is to find cases of active TB early and support patients to take a full course of treatment and get cured.
