Live simulated MDT case discussions
Thursday 15 October 2026, 1.00 pm- 2.00 pm
The BTS MDR-TB Clinical Advice Service Webinar returns for 2026, following its introduction in 2024 as part of the Service's educational programme. This free webinar offers practical learning through simulated multidisciplinary team (MDT) case discussions focused on multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and other complex TB cases.
The BTS MDR-TB Clinical Advice Service provides clinicians managing complex TB cases with access to expert consensus advice from specialists in respiratory medicine, infectious diseases, paediatric infectious diseases, TB nursing, microbiology and public health.
This year's webinar features new content and learning opportunities exploring the identification, treatment and management of MDR-TB and other complex TB cases. The webinar follows the format of the Service's monthly virtual MDT meetings, with two simulated cases presented and discussed by a panel of expert advisors.

- The epidemiology of MDR-TB in the UK

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the webinar.
