Kristin and Jane spoke to Professor Alex Broom from the University of Sydney. Alex is Professor of Sociology at the Department of Sociology and Social Policy. 

We asked Alex:

• What is sociology, and how does it apply to studies of healthcare and illness?

• How are principles of sociology particularly relevant to addressing rising antimicrobial resistance?

• What effect does organisational culture have on the use of antimicrobials?

• How can sociology principles be used as a stewardship tool?
