Addressing Antibiotic Use Roundtable
Registration is now open for the Addressing Antibiotic Use Roundtable hosted by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
How can insights from social research inform efforts to address antibiotic use in humans, animals and crops around the world?
This online Roundtable will launch a report of recommendations from social research about how best to address the increasing - and yet uneven – use of antibiotics across the One Health spectrum. Responding to calls for increased attention to social and behavioural aspects of antibiotic use, the evidence base on this topic is now expanding – reflected in a series of four panels in 2020. Bringing together the implications of these findings for policy, programmes and pilots in a timely way is critical if we are to enable practice to be informed by this research. The Addressing Antibiotic Use roundtable brings into conversation the findings from social researchers with the perspectives of those engaged in policy, programmes and research on AMR.
The roundtable will comprise:
- Launch of the report – Addressing Antibiotic Use: Recommendations from Social Research around the World
- Roundtable Part 1 – Considerations for research
- Roundtable Part 2 – Considerations for policy and programmes
We are excited to announce our roundtable participants, who represent a range of institutions, expertise and focus points:
