Saving our antibiotics: Understanding resistance and how data can prevent It

Antibiotics have been one of medicine’s greatest lifesavers - but now, some infections are fighting back. This growing problem, called antibiotic resistance, threatens treatments we all depend on. When bacteria become resistant, these medicines stop working. Without effective antibiotics, routine infections could become dangerous again, and medical procedures such as surgeries, organ transplants, and cancer treatments would carry far greater risks. In this webinar, our experts Professor Liz Sapey and Dr Suzy Gallier (University of Birmingham) unpacked: • What antibiotic resistance means for you and your family • Why doctors are more careful about prescribing antibiotics • What could happen if we ignore this global challenge • How anonymous NHS data is helping researchers spot signs of antibiotic resistance early - and create smart tools that guide doctors to choose the right antibiotic at the right time.
