This full day event, co-hosted by the LSHTM Antimicrobial Resistance Centre & Centre for Data and Statistical Science for Health, will bring together international global health experts involved in the generation, analysis, and use of quantitative antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data to inform decision-making.
The day will be a mix of talks and panel discussions, ending with a panel addressing proposed new international targets for AMR, and the implications for AMR surveillance and research. Topics being covered include tools such as ACORN, WHONET, SEDRI-LIMS and AMASS, panel discussions on ‘AMR data to support global AMR policy’ and ‘how do we share AMR data nationally & internationally?’.
Date: 21 October 2024, 09:30 - 17:00 BST
