Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

Community Engagement within Research Uptake:

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

AMR is one of the most complex public health threats in the world, requiring coordinated efforts from governments, the public, and a range of stakeholders from different sectors. The third ARCH/Mesh 'Community Engagement for Research Uptake' webinar in our series is a two-part webinar in collaboration with Community Engagement for Antimicrobial Resistance (CE4AMR) and the AMR Knowledge Hub, that will explore the role of community engagement within applying research to changes in health policy and practice with a focus on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). Speakers will share their thoughts and experiences of using participatory and deliberative processes to engage the public and facilitate inclusive policy making.
