Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when organisms adapt to survive treatments, rendering medications ineffective. In 2019, AMR caused 1.27 million deaths globally. The UK’s 20-year vision addresses AMR with 5-year National Action Plans, the latest for 2024-2029, aiming to reduce antimicrobial use, enhance surveillance, and promote new treatments. The plan includes measures to curb unnecessary antimicrobial use in humans and animals, strengthen infection prevention, and incorporate lessons from COVID-19. Public engagement campaigns like "Keep Antibiotics Working" are crucial for raising awareness and driving behavior change to combat AMR effectively.

In the UK, annually, there are an estimated 245,000 cases of sepsis. A 2017 study by the UK Sepsis Trust revealed about 200,000 hospital admissions in England where sepsis was identified. This high incidence underscores the importance of NICE's updated sepsis guidelines, which advocate for more precise antibiotic use among those most at risk, potentially impacting a significant number of patients. For more details and the full context of these statistics, please refer to the NICE link below #nice #sepsisawareness
Our updated guidance on recognising, diagnosing and the early management of suspected sepsis recommends more targeting of antibiotics to those at the highest risk. Our chief medical officer, Professor Jonathan Benger, explains below how the updated guidance provides useful and useable support to help ensure people with suspected sepsis receive the right treatment. The updated #sepsis guidance has also been welcomed by Dr Ron Daniels BEM, The UK Sepsis Trust Founder and Joint CEO ⬇ Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eH3hSKZe #NICENews
