Slough has one of the highest rates of tuberculosis (TB) in England, with local levels more than three times higher than in neighbouring areas. Each year, the disease continues to affect over 50 residents in the borough.
To mark World Tuberculosis Day, Slough Borough Council’s Public Health Team, Solutions for Health, local NHS TB Services, and Slough CVS Community Champions Planner Rosanne Naicker came together to host an information stall at Tesco on Wellington Street. Visitors had the opportunity to learn more about the symptoms of TB and how to seek support.
