UKHSA London Region
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has launched ‘Report a Notifiable Disease’, a new online service which will mean infectious disease notifications can be made more quickly and easily. An online form collects necessary information and sends it direct to UKHSA. Registered Medical Practitioners have a legal duty to notify suspected or confirmed cases of notifiable diseases. UKHSA use this information to support rapid public health action to reduce the spread of infection, and to protect patients, their families, and the wider community. Please note urgent cases still need to be phoned through to UKHSA to ensure a prompt response.
