AMR and CPE impact and interventions (Insight Webinar)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats facing healthcare worldwide - but what does it mean in practice for patients, healthcare systems, and infection prevention professionals? In this Insight Webinar, Dr Luke Moore (Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust) joins Dr Jon Otter and Phil Norville to explore the growing impact of AMR and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE), and to discuss the interventions available to help address this complex challenge. The webinar examines: ✅ The global burden and clinical impact of AMR and CPE ✅ Why antimicrobial resistance affects far more than infection treatment alone ✅ The relationship between AMR, healthcare delivery, and patient outcomes ✅ The role of infection prevention and control (IPC) in limiting transmission ✅ Antimicrobial stewardship and appropriate prescribing ✅ The importance of rapid diagnostics and early detection ✅ Screening strategies, isolation, and practical IPC considerations ✅ Education and communication with patients and healthcare professionals ✅ Challenges and opportunities in both high-income and low-income healthcare settings The discussion also includes an extended Q&A covering topics such as screening policies, healthcare infrastructure, contaminated water systems, diagnostic implementation, resistance mechanisms, and strategies for tackling AMR in resource-limited environments. This webinar will be of interest to infection prevention and control professionals, microbiologists, infectious diseases specialists, antimicrobial stewardship teams, healthcare scientists, nurses, pharmacists, and anyone interested in improving healthcare outcomes through better management of antimicrobial resistance. The Insight Webinar series is co-hosted by IPC Partners, the Healthcare Infection Society (HIS), and the Infection Prevention Society (IPS). 🔔 Subscribe for future IPC Partners webinars, journal clubs, and expert discussions on infection prevention, healthcare epidemiology, antimicrobial stewardship, the built environment, and patient safety. #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance #CPE #IPC #InfectionPrevention #AntimicrobialStewardship #Microbiology #HealthcareEpidemiology #PatientSafety #Diagnostics #HealthcareInfectionSociety #InfectionPreventionSociety #HealthcareQuality
