Addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains a global healthcare priority, as it risks effective management of acute infections, cancer care, and chronic disease management. Despite a WHO global action plan, and development of national action plans, to address AMR, there remain gaps in our policy, research, and clinical practice to combat this threat. Not least of these are in the field of infection-related diagnostics where there remain issues with constructive alignment of clinical need, technological answers, and policy commitment. In this webinar, Amelia Worley of the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) will give us an overview of the diagnostic commitment in the UK National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance; and Dr Luke Moore will explore the gaps and consider approaches for collaborative solutions to optimising diagnostics for AMR.
This event will be chaired by Dr Noha El Sakka OBE, RCPath Vice President for Communications. A Q&A with Dr Moore will follow the talks.
