-Can games help you get better? Experimental evidence on adherence behaviour from Pakistan. Umar Taj1

-Realtime paediatric respiratory tract infection (RTI) community surveillance: A qualitative interview study of clinicians’ perspectives on the use, design and potential impact of a planned intervention.

Preventing the Antibiotic Apocalypse: Public Science Evening

14th June 2017

Bridging the Gaps between EPS and Antimicrobial Resistance

15th June 2017

Symposium

Join us for a full-day symposium to explore the most promising research from the Bridging the Gaps networks and beyond.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to our health, dramatically reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics that have been the mainstay of modern medicine.
Traditionally, the study of AMR has been led by Medical and Life Science researchers. However, to effectively halt the rise of AMR in the population requires the combined resources of Mathematical, Engineering, Physical, Chemical, Medical and Life Sciences, in highly interdisciplinary ventures.

To respond to this need, as part of the cross-council initiative in Antimicrobial Resistance, the EPSRC launched 'Bridging the Gaps', a programme of funding awarded to 11 UK universities, to develop institutional networks focused on multidisciplinary solutions to tackle AMR.
