AMR in Focus - Defining the Problem

Overview

As part of the Microbiology Society's Knocking out AMR project, the Society presents 'Transitioning from academia to industry in AMR'.
For this webinar, we have speakers:

Prof Anna Olsson-Brown, Professor of Clinical Cancer Trials and a Consultant in Medical Oncology,

Dr Helena Carreira, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine..

This opening session will examine the growing relevance of AMR in cancer care. Speakers will discuss the scale of the problem, the evidence linking resistant infections to outcomes in oncology patients, and the complex relationship between antimicrobial use and cancer treatment success. The webinar will also explore the clinical balance between minimising AMR risk while maintaining life-saving treatment pathways and improving patient prognoses.
