Tackling antimicrobial resistance 2019–2024 - The UK's 5 year National Action Plan
Best practice, Government report, Policy
Abstract:
This 20-year vision and five-year plan have been developed collaboratively across diverse government agencies, working with governments in Scotland and Wales, the administration in Northern Ireland, our national health services and animal health and welfare agencies. The vision for AMR in 2040 recognises that a global problem as significant and complex as antimicrobial resistance will not be addressed in a single five-year plan. The national action plan, published alongside the vision, aims to build on achievements so far and includes a strong focus on infection prevention and control, leading the way in testing solutions that will address our global failure to incentivise the development of new antimicrobials and alternative treatments and supporting countries to develop their capacity to tackle AMR, to improve global surveillance and to do the research and development work that we need through international collaborations
