The UK Health Security Agency have published the Management of tuberculosis in secure settings in England - GOV.UK guidance.

This guidance is intended to support the collaborative approach to prevention, diagnosis and management of tuberculosis (TB) in secure settings.

It outlines how to detect and manage cases, notify necessary stakeholders of TB cases and manage outbreaks, including preventing new cases in residents and staff.

The settings in England covered are:

• prisons and young offender institutions (YOIs) with residents aged 18 and above
• approved premises (APs)
• immigration removal centres (IRCs) and residential short-term holding facilities (maximum stay for 7 days) and residential holding rooms (maximum stay for 96 hours)

The Health and Justice team at UKHSA hosted a webinar to mark the publication of this updated guidance. The recording of this webinar can be accessed here: Webinars and videos • WEPHREN
