These courses aim to produce, skilled practitioners, researchers and change-makers to lead the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and influence strategies in infection control to improve patient outcomes and global health.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that failure to address AMR means that by 2050 the global burden may reach 350 million deaths a year. Consequently, there is an urgent need for specific training and development of healthcare postgraduates and professionals in how to tackle AMR to prevent cross-infection and outbreaks, monitor AMR and increase public awareness.
