The attention that antimicrobial resistance received from political leaders in 2024 marked a turning point in efforts to control its spread. But we cannot hope to keep antimicrobials working without everyone in society playing their part. We thank all those who have worked with the Fleming Initiative in 2024 to progress our mission to bring scientists, policymakers, health practitioners, and the public together to find real-world solutions to antimicrobial resistance.

You may have heard mention of Alexander Fleming and his discovery of penicillin during last night’s The Royal Institution Christmas Lecture from Dr Chris van Tulleken. Watch Dr Ezgi Ozcan’s tour of the laboratory where the direction of modern medicine changed forever ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/eM75dRvx It was at St Mary's Hospital that Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin, the world's first antibiotic, in 1928. While this is widely considered to be the greatest discovery in tackling infection, it also initiated the global public health threat of antimicrobial resistance. The opening of the Fleming Centre will mark the centenary of that world-changing discovery and build on its legacy. Learn more about our vision for the Fleming Centre ⤵️  www.flemingcentre.org/lab

Great work from the Fleming Initiative this year, especially to unite clinician creators and communication experts to launch CHAIN: a new media network supported by YouTube Health that aims to harness the power and global reach of video-based online content to drive the behaviour changes needed to tackle the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Art and storytelling have long been powerful tools for making complex issues understandable and moving people to action. When taking on the growing global challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), we need this creative force now more than ever. Dr Emily Scott-Dearing, the Fleming Initiative's Public Engagement Lead, shared her insights on this subject at a recent webinar hosted by Global Strategy Lab and the Immersive Storytelling Lab at York University. Watch the full webinar to discover how the arts can elevate understanding, fuel awareness, and inspire collaboration in tackling the global threat of AMR ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/e66FYHqh #amr #antimicrobialresistance
