Anti-Microbial Resistance Education and Innovation Efforts

UK – A global AMR powerhouse: Opportunities and benefits through joint innovation and international collaboration

Because AMR can spread internationally, it must be fought internationally. Phil Packer, Innovation Lead of AMR and Vaccines at Innovate UK, and Maarten van Dongen, Director of AMR INSIGHTS Netherlands, gave a presentation on the collaborative efforts of several countries to create real solutions to stop AMR.

Maarten van Dongen introduced AMR INSIGHTS and its work to inform, educate, and connect people on topics related to AMR. One such project is the development of a gamified program to improve antibiotic prescription. It is a 3-part series, consisting of a survey tool (“Are you resistant?”), a serious game (“Prescription Challenge”), and finally an online diagnostic tool.
