WELCOME
Dear Delegate,
Public Health England and Antibiotic Guardian have
collaborated with Aston University to hold the Third National
Students’ Antibiotic conference. This is the first year that this
conference has been organised outside of London and we hope
to continue the success in 2019.
We would like to thank Health Education England, the British
Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy and Knowlex
for their support.
Our collective 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. This conference is another wave in the student
movement against AMR. We ask you to
Be part of the change - Help Keep Antibiotics Working.
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 at abcamr@outlook.org! Applications will
open in December.
Sincerely on behalf of the whole team,
Jaspreet Dhanda, Chioma Achi & Ellie Bayne

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
As students you are the future and voice behind raising awareness regarding
antimicrobial resistance.
What can you do to help spread awareness of antimicrobial resistance?
1) Write an article for your university or society newsletter, to share the key themes of
the conference.
2) Tag us in your photos @TheNSAMRC on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the
hashtags #AntibioticGuardian and #TheNSAMRC
3) Become a member of our Organising Committee in 2020!
4) Share our Antibiotic Facts social media posts.
5) Create an Antibiotic Guardian event at your university.
6) Sign your course's society up to our Priority Mailing List: make sure that your students
are the first to get tickets next year.
If you would like to get involved with any of these steps email ESPAUR@phe.gov.uk or
message us on social media. Let's Keep Antibiotics Working.
Actions that can be taken include:
• Conducting research into mechanisms of resistance and how to minimise
resistance to these mechanisms
• Educating members of the general public in risk factors evoking antimicrobial
resistance and the actions that they can take aid the cause
• Demonstrate good practice in use of antimicrobials
• Raise awareness about the consequence of not changing behaviour in respect to
AMR
• AMR is given rise by infection, thus is infection is reduced then the effect (AMR)
will be minimised.
All in all, as the future generation of healthcare professionals, by taking the appropriate
actions you will contribute to the reducing global AMR and will Be part of the change -
Help Keep Antibiotics Working.

Dr Eva Krockow Dr Eva Krockow studied Psychology at the University of Leicester and International
Politics for a Masters at Durham University. Following three years of professional
employment in the field of international development, which led her to Belgium,
West Africa and Germany, she returned to academia, and completed a PhD in
decision making theory at the University of Leicester. Eva’s more recent research a
pplied her theoretical knowledge to the area of medical decision making including
antibiotic use. She is particularly interested in perceptions of risks and uncertainty
underlying antibiotic treatment choices and in collective intelligence approaches
for optimising health-related decisions. Following a research visit at Hokkaido
University in Japan, and due to her personal interests in foreign languages and
cultures, a part of her work also focuses on cross-cultural differences. Her latest
project was an international comparison of antibiotic treatment decisions for
acute medical patients in the UK, South Africa and Sri Lanka, which included a
detailed analysis of contextual and ethical factors shaping prescribing choices. Eva recently took up the
position of Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Leicester and is currently designing a large-scale
UK-China comparative study on the effective communication of risks related to antimicrobial resistance.
She also acts as Technical and Reporting Adviser for the Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial

Aston University, achieved the gold Teaching Excellence Framework
award, and found that students from all backgrounds achieve ‘consistently
outstanding outcomes’ at Aston, with very high proportions of students
going into highly skilled employment or further study.
Achieving a Research Excellence Framework award, the University
conducts a wide range of research including AMR4AMR, generating an
active and vibrant research environment that brings together researchers

The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy exists to facilitate the
acquisition and dissemination of knowledge in the field of antimicrobial
chemotherapy.
At the forefront of the antimicrobial chemotherapy field, the Society meets its
aims by setting standards for antimicrobial susceptibility testing and use, both
within the UK and overseas, supporting microbiologists in their practice, and
the promotion and provision of channels through which its Members can
ensure their continuing professional development.
The Society collaborates with relevant bodies, both nationally and
internationally, and currently leads national programmes of surveillance and
susceptibility testing to determine the effectiveness of antimicrobial and
chemotherapeutic agents.
Health Education England (HEE) exists for one reason only: to support the
delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvement to the patients and
public of England by ensuring that the workforce of today and tomorrow
has the right numbers, skills, values and behaviours, at the right time and in
the right place.
Our vision is to provide the right workforce, with the right skills and
values, in the right place at the right time to better meet the needs and
wants of patients – now and in the future.
Knowlex short for 'knowledge exchange' is regarded as a trusted and
valued resource for healthcare professionals. The NHS is at a crossroads
with unprecedented constraints on finance and resources and a
seemingly continual growth of demand. Indeed there appears a rocky
road ahead in light of an ageing population demographic and demand
for 24/7 access to treatment. Knowlex provides access to all healthcare
provider and commissioning organisations (for example acute trusts,
CCGs, community health, mental health, and local authorities) to a
platform that provides a series of activities and documents that allow
those at the coalface to become more knowledgeable and therefore more
capable of delivering efficient and effective outcomes both for the
public purse and more importantly patients. Indeed our offering is no
longer just a domestic venture within the UK as we now also
collaborate with international colleagues from countries such as the
USA, Canada and the Middle East who have joined our community.
