Local NHS Trust Hosts Live Web Chat on Tuberculosis


Taking place on March 21, ahead of World TB Day

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is hosting a live web chat on March 21, ahead of World Tuberculosis Day, which takes place on March 24.

The web chat is with Professor Onn Min Kon, a consultant respiratory physician and chief of service for the TB service, along with Marie O’Donoghue, lead TB clinical nurse specialist at our Trust. Join us at 12.30 on Monday 21 March to spend an hour discussing tuberculosis. Patients, GPs, other health workers and members of the public are all invited to submit questions about tuberculosis.

The chat will cover topics such as:

  • What are the symptoms of tuberculosis?
  • How does tuberculosis spread?
  • How is tuberculosis treated?

The web chat will open for questions at noon, then Professor Kon and Marie will join it to start the discussion at 12.30.

You can join the chat on the Trust's website or follow via Twitter@ImperialNHS.

You can also email your questions to web@imperial.nhs.uk. If you can’t make it to the live chat, check the website later to see the chat in full.
