I am here in New York for the UN High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance.

The message is clear: save antibiotics, save lives.

[David Webb @davidwebb_1]

This is a really important new action plan to tackle antimicrobial resistance: https://t.co/rydFlcOMoP

[Susan Hopkins @SMHopkins]

Delighted to see the next 5 year National Action Plan on #AMR -four themes & nine outcomes - needs concerted X-HMG work, health and public health services, academia, industry AND most importantly engaging with the public to improve understanding and actions to reduce the impact.

[Morwenna Carrington @MEMCarrington]

Delighted to have reached this milestone today, with publication of the second 5-year national action plan on antimicrobial resistance

[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

The UK Government has committed £5m in seed funding to support the Fleming Centre - a joint initiative to fight antimicrobial resistance 💊
It will be based at St Mary’s Hospital, where the first antibiotic was discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming in 1928.

Ara Darzi: antibiotic resistance is more frightening than Covid- “He wants antibiotic resistance to be taken as seriously as climate change.”

At the Fleming Centre, scientists will work alongside patients, members of the public and policy makers to scope, test and scale solutions, so that antimicrobials can continue to keep the world safe.

Watch to find out more ⬇️

Over one million people a year die as a result of antimicrobial resistance.
The Fleming Centre will drive a global movement to tackle it.

Proud to become Patron of the appeal to create this vital centre, which will educate, inspire and catalyse action to solve this problem.

Beautiful tribute.

[Morwenna Carrington @MEMCarrington]

Just been to see this - and gutted it was the last night as immediately wanted to tell everyone to go and see it. Brilliant, moving and funny #DixonandDaughters @NationalTheatre

Dixon and Daughters - it's been a pleasure 👋

Great to see @MEMCarrington setting out what we are doing to tackle AMR

[Morwenna Carrington @MEMCarrington]

We saved £135 but not sure what @LNER gained apart from pointless adherence to strict rules…

[Morwenna Carrington @MEMCarrington]

Very disappointed in @LNER today after my daughter missed her train back from an audition in Leeds today and got on the next one. Ticket inspector wouldn’t let me pay for her ticket over the phone (he wanted to charge full adult fare £160 and she didn’t have enough)

[Morwenna Carrington @MEMCarrington]

I understand @LNER inspector was operating within the rules but think there should have been some discretion, rather than forcing 18-year old off the train?
