Norfolk Community Tuberculosis Service
Our service
We are a specialist service offering support and advice to people of all ages who have tuberculosis (TB).
We work in partnership with Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to provide advice and support on all aspects of TB and non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections. Our service covers the Norfolk area served by East of England Community Health and Care NHS Trust.
