CONTENTS

Dear Delegate,Welcome to the AMR:ABC Conference! AMR:ABC is our acronym for “Antimicrobial Resistance: Advocating a Behaviour Change”. Antimicrobial resistance is one of the largest global health issues of the 21st Century. The implications of increasing resistance to all known antimicrobial drugs available (for both human and animal use) presents as a threat to all nations. With the world becoming increasingly connected, now more than ever, AMR has no boundaries. A global problem requires international solutions. The team and I strongly believe that one of these solutions is raising awareness, and equipping the future with knowledge.  This Conference is the first UK national student conference on AMR designed for healthcare students and is open to the wider public. We hope this conference will equip delegates from a variety of backgrounds with the skills and knowledge required to become AMR stewards and to spearhead public health campaigns against AMR in their personal and professional lives. The AMR:ABC Team has attracted speakers who are leaders in the field of AMR to showcase their research and empower you all to become the next leaders in the fight against AMR. The conference also features awards and poster presentations to commend and showcase individual achievements in the field of AMR.

We hope you enjoy the conference. Get your thinking caps on!  Sincerely on behalf of the whole team,

Osenadia Joseph-Ebare4th Year Pharmacy Student, King’s College London

Conference Lead, AMR:ABC Team

 With best wishes,

WELCOME

Special Thanks to Knowlex for their logistical support pre conference and on

the day.

ABOUT US

In 2014, Public Health England launched the Antibiotic Guardian Champions initiative, with the aim of increasing awareness through campaigns, against antibiotic resistance. Healthcare students and professionals were recruited in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which includes antibiotic resistance. Students at King’s College London have been increasingly involved with this initiative, inspiring the founders of this conference to spread the campaign and passion beyond the boundaries of our campus.

Last year, the conference leads, Osenadia Joseph-Ebare, Lara-Turiya Seitz, Hannah Hafezi and Aditya Aggarwal, spearheaded by Dr Diane Ashiru-Oredope, recruited individuals who share our passion for public health and AMR. Thus, began the curation of the multidisciplinary AMR:ABC national team and following months of many Skype calls and hard work, our dream of an AMR conference has became a reality. Our aim is to inform and inspire our peers on AMR; a topic not thoroughly- understood by the average healthcare student.

We hope you enjoy this conference and that you become infected with our passion to campaign and raise awareness about AMR, the biggest health crisis of our time. This conference is one more wave in the student movement against AMR and through discussions at this conference, we hope it sparks your own ideas for another wave against AMR.

If you wish to be a part the national team that plans this conference next year and host it at your university, please get in touch with us! Application will open in December.
