London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

Our Autumn 2025 seminar series brings together 2-3 expert speakers for a thematic seminar to present their work and to engage with participants to discuss findings, approaches and ways forward.

The second seminar of the series, ‘Value of AMR interventions/value of antibiotics’, will focus on the work done by experts from the University of Edinburgh and the Research Centre for Eco-Environmental Sciences. Presentations and discussions will include:

• A comprehensive model, the 3D Value Framework, that focuses directly on what types of valuable outcomes there can be related to having sustainable access to effective antibiotics. The framework addresses recognised flaws in standard pharmacological health economics tools related to antibiotics and AMR, ensuring that the broad benefits of managing AMR well are made visible in policymaking.
• The use of system dynamics models of antimicrobial use practices and observations of treatment success or failure, and surveillance-informed prescribing. The models help explore the effects of human behaviour and associated time lags on patterns of antimicrobial susceptibility over time.
• The impact of AMR on changes in air pollution in China, revealing direct or indirect influences of multiple factors on aggregate antibiotic resistance, the pathways of influence, and the estimation of direct and indirect effects on AMR of a range of factors, including antibiotic use.

The seminar series is targeting the community of the IMPACT AMR Network, having over 350 subscribers to our monthly newsletter, over 120 active members divided into four workstreams, and over 15 partners.
