I had a recent query on the Facebook site UK Occupational Health Practitioners. I was unable to identify training. I think there my be a trend to blood testing before instead of mantoux, but those working in the NHS will have greater insight into this than I. There has been NICE guidance on the subjectSome MASTA travel clinics do BCG/mantoux
I thikn I am right in saying that Mantoux cannot be given by a PGD but needs a Patient Specific Direction( Ie the patient must be named, much like an individual prescription)
