The AMR Studio

Here we bring you our second (and last) piece of the special on communicating AMR for this year's awareness week. Click play to listen to Amy Reid, from the World Health Organization working at the AMR team, being interviewed about their work dynamics, strategies, challenges and outlooks when it comes to increase global awareness on AMR. WHO is the main orchestrator of this global awareness annual campaign and their work is essential in this area. Check relevant links and material at www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episodex3/.

Welcome to this first part of our special series for the World Antibiotic Awareness Week 2019 campaign! In this episode you will briefly be introduced to the Swedish health care system, and then you will listen to two interviews of people working with communicating AMR in the Swedish context. First, we have Gunilla Stridh Ekman from STRAMA, presenting the work done mostly at the local level around Uppsala. Afterwards, we have an interview with Ulrica Dohnhammar, from The Swedish Public Health Agency, part of the national awareness campaign "Save the Antibiotics", among other work.

Welcome to our first anniversary episode! Turning 1 with you by featuring the interview we did with Dr. Claas Kirchhelle, a historian at the University of Oxford. Tune in to get a peek into how historians like him contribute to the study and communication of AMR. Also, we briefly cover the recent publication looking into the progress done on the gobal Antimicrobial Resistance work, after the recommendations published back in 2015. A lot has been done, but a lot is still needed! Check relevant links and material at www.uac.uu.se/the-amr-studio/episode13/.

Dive in and learn about the roll that ethics and philosophy can have within AMR with Dr. Christian Munthe (currently part of the Centre for Antibiotic Resistance Research -CARe-) in this month's episode of The AMR Studio. With his background in practical philosophy, Dr. Munthe works with translating thoughts into actions when it comes to the various dilemmas that AMR poses regularly. In the news section, we cover a recent study looking into how contextual factors shape distinct ethical challenges in different parts of the world; and an article showing how antibiotic persistence can be linked to plasmid transfer.
