AMR Week webinars

Chief Dental Officer, England Jason Wong, has asked that we share information on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week, and specific dental resources:

Join Us for World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat, making common infections harder - or even impossible - to treat. In the UK, AMR is linked to twice as many deaths annually as breast cancer. This year's World AMR Awareness Week (18-24 November) highlights the urgent need to act and use antibiotics responsibly. Join our free, expert-led webinars to deepen your understanding, learn more about best practice, and gain practical strategies to combat AMR in your work. Let's protect patients, preserve antibiotics, and drive change together. Reserve your spot today and be part of the solution.

Specific dental resources are also available on 3 national platforms: (1) Dental antimicrobial stewardship toolkit (Dental antimicrobial stewardship: toolkit - GOV.UK: updated December 2023), (2) Keep Antimicrobial Working educational website (KAW Resources - Keep Antimicrobials Working Forum & Resources), and (3) Scottish Antimicrobial Prescribing Group (SAPG) Dental Stewardship Steering Group (DSSG) website (Dental stewardship).
