When to seek urgent help
This is a screening and testing service, not emergency care. If you currently have symptoms that could suggest active TB, such as a persistent cough lasting more than three weeks, coughing up blood, unexplained weight loss, drenching night sweats, or ongoing fever, contact your GP or NHS 111 promptly for assessment, as active TB needs timely diagnosis and specialist treatment outside this service.
