The Hospital is closely associated with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSH&TM) and provides a unique setting for clinical training. All the Hospital's consultants have joint teaching appointments with LSH&TM and some are the only specialists in their field working within the National Health Service.

The Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Hygiene (DTM&H) is a three month, full time course in tropical medicine and public health for physicians. The DTM&H is specially designed for physicians who intend to work in the tropics, those who have returned for a refresher, or physicians who may be working in non-tropical countries and who need experience in clinical parasitology, imported diseases and travel medicine.

The course combines clinical experience, practical laboratory work and a series of lectures and seminars,designed to provide doctors with clinical and factual knowledge that will form the basis of professional competence in tropical medicine.
