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

Stewardship (CwPAMS) programme. Eva is passionate about science communicate and writes regular

blogs about decision-making research for Psychology Today

Aston University, located in the Birmingham, is committed to research,

enterprise and inspiring teaching at a local and global level.

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

from across Aston to focus holistically on the problem of antimicrobial

drug resistance to find new and innovative solutions.

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.
