Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and 'One Health': Current Challenges, Regulatory Frontiers and Future Solutions Training Course

Course overview

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a daunting global challenge, threatening to undermine decades of medical advancements. It occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial drugs, rendering treatments ineffective. This phenomenon jeopardises our ability to treat infections, leading to longer illnesses, increased mortality, and soaring healthcare costs. AMR's impact extends beyond human health; it affects veterinary medicine, agriculture, and the environment, creating a complex, interconnected ‘One Health’ crisis.

This comprehensive course delves into the intricacies of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the lens of the ‘One Health’ framework. Participants will gain insight into the regulatory landscapes governing AMR, understand the multifaceted challenges posed by AMR across different sectors, and explore innovative solutions, including alternatives to antibiotics like microbiome-derived antimicrobials and policy approaches. The course is designed to foster a holistic understanding of how human, animal, and environmental health are interconnected in the fight against AMR.

This course is part of our Regulatory Affairs Training course collection, which features updates on the latest regulations to registration procedures and strategies.
