Powering the UK ’s approach to AMR: the future of AMR policy

Reform -Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major challenge to the UK ’s health security, and is responsible for a significant burden of death, disability and prolonged illness globally. A Reform report published in 2020 highlighted the threat of AMR and made a number of key proposals for reform. This briefing paper draws on a roundtable to assess progress made agai nst these proposals. It takes learnings from the Covid-19 pandemic to provide practical actions that Government could implement to drive change, with a particular focus on the role of rapid, accurate diagnostics in supporting surveillance and managing infections; creating AMR awareness campaigns tha t citizens can trust and relate to; and creating structures to enable effective, cross-government working.ReportReform - publications
