New #DigitalHealth & #AMR 💊 paper out in BMJ's Medical Humanities (with some stellar colleagues ✨)

Searching for #antibiotics and #antimicrobials online in #Australia, we find sites to be a pastiche of medical info. Local policy ought to think globally and beyond current concern for illicit substances and #DarkWeb. Research needs to account for diverse communities and practices.

Cardiff scientists look at honey as drug alternative

'Honey has been used for thousands of years to treat wounds, but scientists are now using it in a search for alternatives to antimicrobial drugs. It follows concern about infections caused by bacteria resistant to antibiotics'

>To meaningfully tackle the AMR superbug threat, along with most other environmental crises of our time, intensive farming will have to change

Curbing this spread will require considerable changes in how #food is grown and #diseases get treated, the report warns—agribusinesses, the #pharmaceutical industry, and governments across the globe must rethink, in tandem, both their prolific use of #antimicrobials and their #climate footprint.

In other words, it a To The Barricades moment, and a #SystemChange moment.

Because the system we have built is brittle, and that makes us vulnerable to the least shock.

Everyone needs to know about this:

"Unsubtly titled "Bracing for Superbugs", and released Tuesday by the UN Environment Programme, it marks perhaps the global body’s most direct attempt yet to bring attention to the scary feedback loop linking #GlobalWarming, the increase of #antimicrobials in our #food supplies, farm #pesticides, and medicine with the spread of #DrugResistant bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

We are on track!

In only 3 years (2018-2021) EU Member States have reduced the sale of antimicrobials for farmed animals & aquaculture by 18%.

Bringing us closer to our #EUFarm2Fork target of a reduction of 50% by 2030.

🟠DRIVE-AMS via trainings in EU countries
🔵IMAGINE in nursery homes
🟡TEAM-COACH in the paediatric population
