@PlayfulAnytime @nesta_uk Amazing!!! This is so great to see

[The Fleming Fund @FlemingFund]

For the #WAAW2024 theme - ‘Educate. Advocate. Act now.’ - we hear from #FlemingFellows on building #AMR expertise in the health workforce.

⬇️ Fellow @chidemannie's research highlighted critical findings and implications for public health in #Nigeria🇳🇬.

Less than half of the new antibiotics approved between 1999 and 2014 were registered in more than ten countries. And, only four of the 40 new antibiotics approved since 2000 are labelled for paediatric use.

So so chuffed by the way in which the playful spirits of Leeds have so wholeheartedly embraced getting involved in this first DIY city wide festival.
We have come together as a community this year.
Check it out. So much on for all

Why numbers are sometimes better than words.

What people think you say when you say “little chance,” “probably not,” or “highly likely.”

[Center for Global Development @CGDev]

Why do low- and middle-income countries see fewer #antimicrobial registrations and product introductions than other countries? 💊

@katklemperer, Fatema Rafiqi, & @apmcdonnell dig into this rollout problem:

Why can Dijon, France plan, approve, and build a 12 mile tramway in 4 years, while it takes 13 years to build a 1 mile tram extension in Birmingham?

Our new report, written with @createstreets, explores how Britain can make building new tramways cheaper and faster. 🧵

Urban birds may be spreading drug-resistant ‘superbugs’, research shows (https://t.co/wrJZSDxOni) @CurrentBiology contributing to increased understanding of urban-rural #OneHealth risk of exposure #AMR

[Antony Tiernan @AntonyTiernan]

Just a reminder that from the day it launched on 5 July 1948, the NHS has relied on staff from across the world - from the Windrush Generation of 1948 to today’s workforce, represented by over 200 nationalities.

Thank you to each and every one of them!

Incredible support from patients and communities in Bradford to save lives
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

New action plan to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) commits the UK to:

🔵 reduce use of antimicrobials
🔵 strengthen surveillance of drug resistant infections before they emerge
🔵 incentivise industry to develop the next generation of treatments

Do you have an idea for research which targets an identified health policy, system challenge or evidence gap to benefit populations in #LMICs?

Our Global Health Policy and Systems Research (HPSR) Projects #ResearchFunding opportunity could be for you: https://t.co/5dgRsM4NEt

[Mike Bird @Birdyword]

A while ago a Singaporean taxi driver asked me what a UK hawker centre lunch might cost. I explained that there aren't any. He asked what office workers ate, and I explained the concept of Meal Deals. And he looked at me with such a powerful combination of pity and revulsion.

[Yorkshire Universities @YorkshireUnis]

Excellent piece by @mossposs on the role of #universities in health and care workforce training & development. With specific reference to our recent #YHealth4Growth White Paper published with @HealthInnovYH & @NHSConfed

New research shows there's real promise that Gilead's antiviral #obeldesivir could be used to treat #Ebola Sudan & maybe other types of Ebola & #Marburg. It could make responses far easier: it's a pill & it doesn't require cold chain. https://t.co/onZVyuy7NA
