I used to be one of those patients that believed it was my body that was resistant to antibiotics, not the bacteria itself. This is a common misconception. Read The AMR Narrative's latest blog which explains more below 👇 #theAMRnarrative #AMR #KeepAntibioticsWorking

If you are a conference organiser focusing on #AntimicrobialResistance and thinking of inviting patients, here are my five basic asks to you: 1️⃣ Offer both virtual and in-person attendance. (Not all patients can travel with serious health conditions) 2️⃣ Don't charge registration
