Health Innovation North West Coast is a key partner in a national initiative to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the most significant global health challenges of our age.
AMR threatens the effectiveness of medicines used to treat infections in human, animal and plant health, and addressing the problem requires collaboration that extends beyond traditional healthcare boundaries.
The ARREST-AMR (Accurate, Rapid, Robust and Economical One Health Diagnostics for antimicrobial resistance) Network brings together expertise from human health, veterinary medicine, agriculture, plant health and the environment.
Health Innovation North West Coast is connecting stakeholders who do not traditionally work together, helping ensure solutions to AMR are informed by diverse perspectives and real-world needs.
Health Innovation North West Coast has been invaluable in bringing together the right people and perspectives at a critical stage. Their ability to convene stakeholders across healthcare, agriculture and environmental sectors has strengthened our understanding of the challenges and opportunities.
