The UK Coalition to Stop TB was formed in 2008 to increase the level of awareness, commitment and political will to address TB through co-ordinated actions and a unified voice. The Coalition is a national partner of the global Stop TB Partnership. Further details regarding the Coalition can be found at their website (www.stoptbuk.org).

The Coalition recently formed a new Steering Group consisting of 8 members from a broad spectrum of organisations. Professor Stephen Gillespie and Dr Geoff Coxon will be representing TBD-UK on the Steering Group and we look forward to working with the Coalition on the development of their strategic plan over the coming months.
