Roundtable: Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance 2019-2024

29 November 2022 2pm – 5pm GMT + Add to calendar Closed Science Museum
To supplement the work of the AMI One Heath Advisory Group, the committee has called on relevant experts from the applied microbiology community to take part in this roundtable. If you would like to be involved in an AMI Advisory Group, or just wish to know more, then please click here. 
 
In May 2022, the government published an addendum that sets out changes to the aforementioned action plan. These changes were required to make the commitments:
 
  • More specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound
  • Reflect lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic
  • Reflect progress that has already been made against ambitions to reduce antibiotic prescribing in food-producing animals
  • Work towards new sector targets

The objective of the round-table discussion is to bring together industry, academic, and science policy experts, and other stakeholders, to review these changes and provide a road map to compliment the addendum to ensure the delivery of the UK’s five-year action plan.
