On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Global Research on AntiMicrobial resistance (GRAM) project aims to provide robust, comprehensive and timely evidence of the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally, and in 195 countries and territories. This work is being run within a partnership between the University of Oxford and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington. The overall aim of the GRAM initiative is to strengthen the evidence base on the current global burden of AMR, and how, where and why it is changing. We will provide the essential health intelligence to help drive awareness of AMR, support better surveillance of AMR, and prompt policy action to control AMR, including facilitating antimicrobial stewardship. In this talk I will describe our objectives on consolidating, reviewing and analysing the available data and scientific information on AMR worldwide, in order to generate comparable AMR burden estimates for all clinical syndromes and pathogen-drug combinations, and our approach to producing the burden of disease maps together with some of the difficulties encountered.
