We found a high burden of maternal death following CS in this low-resource setting, particularly related to infection. Multiple health systems factors contributed.There is urgent need to develop and trial interventions to improve the safety of CS in such settings #maternalhealth

750,000 #AMR deaths could be prevented each year in #LMIC with known interventions: -Higher #IPC standards -Universal access to water, sanitation, and hygiene services -Universal coverage of priority pediatric vaccines #SDG #OneHealth onehealthtrust.org/publications...

Packed out for the first full session at #greenersurgery conference in Birmingham led by Prof Aneel Bhangra, Virginia Ledda and Dmitri Nepogodiev. Clear demand to act now! #GreenSurg @globalsurgery.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social

Clear interest in how to support behaviour change in surgery at the first session. Are the right roles involved? Asks Prof Dion Morton @globalsurgery.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social #greenersurgery

Asst Prof Laura Kudrna challenging how to change behaviour in surgery in order to implement better outcomes @globalsurgery.bsky.social @nihr.bsky.social #greenersurgery #surgery

Fascinated to join the Greener Surgery conf to explore more ways to improve sustainability around surgery #greenersurgery @nihr.bsky.social @globalsurgery.bsky.social #surgery

This study found low AMR capacities in most of 103 countries despite favorable conditions like high HDI, with Universal Health Coverage (UHC) emerging as the key factor linked to stronger AMR capacities. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Transparency, free press, public participation, and investment in general education and healthcare enable stronger global efforts against AMR, emphasizing shared responsibility and the need for collective action through awareness, innovation, and collaboration.

Delighted to share this review article by ISAC Secretary General, Prof. Anuradha Chowdhary and Michail S. Lionaki on Candida auris Infections which has rapidly spread across more than 45 countries in six continents; since identified in 2009. www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/... #Candida #Cauris

A superb session chaired by Gavin Barlow of 3 talks on fungal infections and stewardship at @bsacandjac.bsky.social #infection2024 from @drneilstone.bsky.social Rebecca Gorton and Laura Whitney. True leaders raising our game!! 👏

Thanks to @drneilstone.bsky.social Huge resistance already happening. A leading cause of blood stream infections #infection2024 @bsacandjac.bsky.social

Excellent but harrowing talk from @drneilstone.bsky.social about fungal infections and resistance at the @bsacandjac.bsky.social conference #infection2024 “We are in a mess” with options but there is hope. Already 3.5M annual global deaths from fungal infections. Time to act!!

The WHO highlights AMR as a critical global threat and advocates for a multisectoral One Health approach. This includes strengthening surveillance, promoting infection prevention, and supporting national action plans to reduce AMR-related deaths by 2030 www.innovationnewsnetwork.com/tackling-the...

Andrew Seaton at @bsacandjac.bsky.social conference #infection2024 reflecting on more HCPs are able to prescribe Abx. “In Scotland, 14% of ABX are prescribed by Nurses. Nurses are better at prescribing than Doctors”

Zubir Ahmed MP reinforcing the importance and determination of the UK Government to tackle AMR and preserve antibiotics. Complimenting @bsacandjac.bsky.social for their world leading advocacy for change in #AMR across the world 👏. #infection2024

@bsacandjac.bsky.social Lucky to be able to join the @bsacandjac.bsky.social conference #infection2024 today and hear updates from our leading experts on #infection and #AMR who dedicate themselves to protecting us all. Humbled. We all need to act, though.

Good Morning! Today marks the beginning of the BSAC Winter Conference #Infection2024: Policy into Practice. The first session starts soon - for programme and details of joining us online see here: bsac.org.uk/infection2024/

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts. This is speaking truth to actual power…

What does #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) mean to you and me? 💊 AMR happens when dangerous bacteria become resistant to life-saving medicines, making treatment difficult or even impossible 💊 AMR means the medicines we rely on may stop working bit.ly/4fy6yAo

"While at first glance, the data suggests antibiotic use further spiralling out of control, it also highlights an encouraging development: improved access to treatment in middle-income nations." BSAC's take on the dramatic global rise in antibiotic consumption since 2016. bsac.org.uk/global-rise-...

I'm totally OK with being called woke. It just means that I'm showing off my green flags. Happy to follow others with green flags. #woke

It's suggested that scientists spread across platforms might make it difficult to access authoritative voices. Well, that's what good science journalism is for. Like wikipedia, social media should be the jumping-off point. Not the source of the final word. www.statnews.com/2024/11/21/b...
