BTS MDR-TB Clinical Advice Service
The MDR-TB Clinical Advice Service provides advice and support to clinicians across the UK who encounter MDR-TB. The advice is offered by a multidisciplinary panel of Clinical Service Advisers, with expertise in areas such as respiratory medicine, infectious diseases, microbiology, pharmacy and public health. The advice is provided via a secure online case discussion forum and at monthly MDT meetings which are held via Teams. If you are an NHS professional and would like to observe the case discussions at an MDT, please email: mdrtb@brit-thoracic.org.uk.
