On 15 May 2019 Professor Leighton gave an invited address to the Department of Health & Social Care in London on Global-NAMRIP, covering the challenges of AMR, the way various philosophies shape the policy response and Global-NAMRIP’s response to the issue. This includes forming multidisciplinary teams and engaging them with end-users to identify the problems where interventions might be an effective game-changer, pursing possible interventions through rigorous research, and then engaging with translators to ensure successful interventions are validated and translated for societal benefit.
