Event details

This timely conference focuses on latest developments in tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in England.

It comes with the 2013-2018 UK AMR Strategy due to complete soon and with AMR cited by the Minister for Public Health as central to the forthcoming NHS Long Term Plan - with the plan set to focus on prevention, funding and research.

With a refreshed AMR strategy expected to include a 20-year vision and 5-year action plans, the agenda looks at the way forward for delivery to ensure that key aims are met.

Planned sessions will look at the progress of research being conducted to strengthen efforts to tackle the spread of AMR and to develop new forms of treatment for drug resistant bacterial infections - including industry collaboration, funding for new medicines and the role of reimbursement models in encouraging drug development - as well as consideration of the next steps for diagnostics being utilised to identify drug-resistant bacteria and support treatment decisions.
