RESPOND is a monthly virtual multidisciplinary team (MDT) service for advice and guidance on refugee health and social care issues. Any healthcare professional involved in the care of a complex asylum seeker/refugee can bring them to the MDT and get advice from an expert panel.

It is a confidential service hosted by the Hospital for Tropical Diseases and the Children and Young People's division at UCLH. 

RESPOND aims to address health inequalities and improve health inclusion for this population. Staff have expertise in trauma-informed care and work with local, specialist and third-sector services to ensure appropriate, timely and compassionate care.
