While stigma around active TB disease is well recognised, findings highlight that stigma also acts as a hidden barrier in accessing care for latent TB infection ��� a key part of global TB elimination strategies.

Kayonda was able to help athletes understand how their fundraising efforts directly supports research, hopefully inspiring them to raise even more funds!

The UCL CBM will be cheering on all those taking part in the 2025 @LondonMarathon!

1/2 The INHALE WP3 randomised trial provides multi-centre evidence that rapid syndromic PCR, delivered at the point-of care in the ICU improved antibiotic stewardship by 21% in absolute terms. Equivalence of clinical cure was not demonstrated. https://t.co/4dU1n6fR8Y

🚨 New paper from @DrSJStewart, @DrZoeMoon and the @HAP_Diagnostics team:

“Guidelines vs Mindlines” published in AAC @ASMicrobiology https://t.co/yZJbEsyfRK

[UCL Centre for Behavioural Medicine @UCL_CBM]

Findings suggest that implementation strategies for technological solutions to antimicrobial resistance must be “behaviorally intelligent,” recognizing the challenges facing clinicians when making life or death prescribing decisions.
