This webinar, part of the Sustainable Microbiology Policy Spotlight journal webinar series, features authors who have recently contributed Policy in Practice articles to the journal. Chaired by the journal’s Policy Editor, Prof. David Oliver, the webinar will feature overviews from these phage-related publications, alongside a structured discussion considering how phages can contribute to a sustainable future globally. There will also be an opportunity for participants ask questions from our expert speakers.
Key highlights:
-
How a thought leadership approach, via the Phage Innovation Network, has been effective in increasing engagement, delivering solutions, and supporting progress of the phage sector in the UK.

Key barriers to phage therapy implementation in the UK.
-
Advancing knowledge on alternative therapeutic strategies for managing AMR in Cystic Fibrosis via Phage Australia.
-
Lessons from the UK and Australian experience that could inform global policy making.
