February 28, 2025
To mark World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW) 2024, the Society asked its Champions to submit their ideas for activities to promote WAAW, alongside our Knocking Out AMR project, in their local communities. There was a huge response, which resulted in a variety of outreach events, resource development and webinars taking place all over the world. In this series of blogs, we catch-up with some of the Champions who got involved. Below, you can find out how Champion, Dr Enas Newire (Middlesex University, London, UK) took on this challenge by hosting a week-long event at Middlesex University, UK.
