IMPACT AMR Network seminar series
The IMPACT AMR Network takes a transdisciplinary approach to improving the use of evidence to inform prioritisation of efforts to impact antimicrobial resistance. In summer 2026, the Network’s seminar series invites speakers for each event to present their work on a particular theme or case study around prioritisation.
The first seminar of this virtual series presents ‘WASH as a Case Study Model’, with IMPACT co-leads and early career researchers presenting their first case study exploring how targeted WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) interventions could potentially be prioritised to reduce the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in contrasting low and middle income country (LMIC) settings. The team investigates this comparatively in the context of Uganda, Bangladesh and India - exemplar settings differing in WASH status, AMR burden, socioeconomic and regulatory settings - using pooled infection risk reduction estimates, as an AMR-sensitive proxy, and a range of other criteria supported by published evidence. The team will also highlight new case studies in the early stages of development and how you can contribute if you'd like to propose a new case study idea.
