Join us for an engaging discussion on the pressing issue of antimicrobial resistance. We're thrilled to have speakers who will highlight the urgent need for policy action and who will share powerful stories of people affected by resistant infections. Come to find out how we can work together to prevent the next global health crisis.

From Petri Dishes to Parliament: Fighting Superbugs in the Political Arena

Paul-Enguerrand Fady (Senior Parliamentary Researcher)

“Super gonorrhoea”. Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. MRSA. All of these infections threaten public health now more than ever before. But are politicians taking notice? Join us to find out how one scientist is raising awareness of antimicrobial resistance and driving action in Parliament.

Antibiotic Resistance – Where Are We Now?

Claire Nethersole (Public Engagement Fundraiser, Antibiotic Research UK)

Dr Rachael Dickman (Lecturer in Drug Discovery, UCL)

Don’t be fooled into thinking antibiotic resistance is a problem for the future. Find out where we are now, hear the voices of people already affected, and discover what can be done about it, both on a global scale and in your everyday life.
