Communicating AMR data to stakeholders

Introduction

This course will encourage you to think about how you can make the biggest impact in communicating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data, as well as data on antimicrobial use (AMU) and antimicrobial consumption (AMC). There might be groups of people you have not considered before who could benefit from AMR, AMU and AMC data being shown and explained to them.

Global action to tackle drug-resistant infections is not happening at the scale and urgency needed. Action can be strengthened with a better recognition and understanding of the problem. Unfortunately, this wider understanding of AMR, AMU and AMC data and their impact is currently limited. We can change this by communicating more widely and more powerfully.

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• appreciate the ‘bigger picture’ and make the most of AMR, AMU and AMC data
• identify local, national and global ‘AMR networks’ and stakeholders
• recognise different target audiences, and effectively match your communication strategies to each audience
• use a range of communication styles and platforms.
