Farm Vet Champions Project Manager

Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem that is estimated to cause 700,000 deaths each year. That figure is predicted to rise to 10 million by 2050 if no action is taken. The improvement of professional capacity and capability for effective infection prevention and control and good antimicrobial stewardship in human medicine has been recognised as essential within the UK’s five-year National Action Plan for tackling antimicrobial resistance.
