	Antibiotics Handle with care - App World Health Organization WHO (2019) C_WHO Open external link (511) Add to my MEDBOX App - Learn how to handle antibiotics with care & help us stop antibiotic resistance Tags: AMR, Antimicrobial resistance, antibiotics, patient information, Source: https://apps.who.int/world-antibiotic-aw
	Antimicrobial resistance learning channel World Health Organization WHO (2022) CC Open external link (7) Add to my MEDBOX Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity. AMR threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi. It occurs when microorganisms develop resistance to medicines that are relied upon for treatment, making some conditions difficult or impossible to cure. As a result, infections persist in the body, increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. The Antimicrobial Resistance channel offers learning resources to support implementation of the Global Action Plan on AMR (2015), by building health care worker competencies to help combat AMR in their daily clinical practice Tags: Online Courses, AMR, Antimicrobial resistance, antimicrobial stewardship, guidance, implementation, Source: https://openwho.org/channels/amr
	Reducing antimicrobial resistance of treatable sexually transmitted infections in antenatal care Open WHO; World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (23) Add to my MEDBOX The aim of this course is to improve the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other reproductive tract infections (RTIs) in settings serving pregnant women and their families Tags: antenatal care, online courses, Antimicrobial resistance, Capacity Building, Treatment, diagnostics, Source: https://openwho.org/courses/amr-sti-anc
	Antimicrobial stewardship programmes in health-care facilities in low- and middle-income countries: a WHO practical toolkit. Online Course Open WHO; World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (138) Add to my MEDBOX The toolkit provides guidance on where to get started, including the structures and resources that should be put in place at the national and health-care facility level, through a stepwise approach in low-resource settings. As the ultimate goal of an AMS programme is sustainable behaviour change in physicians’ antibiotic prescribing practices, the toolkit also provides detailed guidance on how to plan, perform and assess AMS interventions – including feedback on antibiotic use over time. Finally, the toolkit provides an overview of the competencies an AMS team needs to guide health-care professionals in changing their antibiotic prescribing behaviours. Please note that this course is part of a training package, so please register for the complementary course WHO Policy Guidance on Integrated Antimicrobial Stewardship Activities so that you can complete your learning journey Tags: antimicrobial stewardship, guidance, Public health, Online Courses, Source: https://openwho.org/courses/practical-to
	WHO policy guidance on integrated antimicrobial stewardship activities. Online Course Open WHO; World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (148) Add to my MEDBOX Member States have requested WHO policy guidance on how to facilitate the implementation of national AMS activities in an integrated and programmatic approach. This policy guidance responds to that demand from Member States and is anchored in public health guiding principles in the human health sector. It provides evidence-based and pragmatic recommendations to drive comprehensive and integrated AMS activities under the purview of a central national coordination unit, National AMR steering or coordinating committees or other equivalent national authorities.

	Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): a Multidisciplinary Approach London School of Hygien &Tropical Medicine (2022) C1 Open external link (197) Add to my MEDBOX The course is aimed at those designing, implementing and evaluating strategies to address AMR. For example, the course would be relevant for members of National Action Plan committees, policy and practice professionals who are required to address and support AMR initiatives, mid-career scientists and postgraduate students, and clinicians who would benefit from an understanding of the public health importance of AMR and actions to tackle the problem. The course will have a specific focus on AMR in low- and middle-income countries. Applicants should have a good command of English, as all teaching will be in English Tags: AMR, Antimicrobial resistance, approach, public health sector, Source: https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/study/courses/sh
	Understanding antimicrobial resistance in food and agriculture Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations FAO (2022) C1 Open external link (179) Add to my MEDBOX This course offers an overview of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a global threat to human, animal and environmental health, and explains the role of the food and agriculture sector, and the impact of AMR on agrifood systems. It also describes how the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is contributing to increased awareness and engagement of all stakeholders in the food and agriculture sector, to tackle AMR Tags: foodborne AMR, AMR, Antimicrobial resistance, Online Courses, Agriculture, environmental health, awareness, stakeholders, Source: https://elearning.fao.org/course/view.ph
	Training courses on the prevention of antimicrobial resistance European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control ECDC; WHO Europe (2022) CC Open external link (204) Add to my MEDBOX Tags: Online Courses, resource platform, AMR, Antimicrobial resistance, Training, Source: https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/all-topics
	Antibiotic Stewardship Standford University Coursera (2022) CC Open external link (138) Add to my MEDBOX Antibiotics are among the most frequently prescribed classes of drugs and it is estimated that approximately 50% of antibiotic use, in both the outpatient and inpatient settings, is inappropriate. At the same time, in contrast to any other class of drugs, every antibiotic use has a potential public health consequence – inappropriate use may not harm only the individual patient, but contributes to societal harm by exerting an unnecessary selective pressure that may lead to antibiotic resistance among bacteria. This video based course will introduce learners to the basic principles of appropriate antibiotic use, demonstrate how to apply these principles to the management of common infections, and outline how to develop and maintain an antimicrobial stewardship program. We will offer a number of illustrative cases, recognizable to the practicing physician in his or her practice to engage learners in the thought processes that lead to optimal decision making, improved outcomes of individual patients, and harm reduction vis-a-vis the bacterial ecology Tags: Online Courses, AMR, Antimicrobial resistance, antimicrobial stewardship, Source: https://de.coursera.org/learn/antibiotic
	Antimicrobial resistance - theory and methods Coursera (2022) CC Open external link (139) Add to my MEDBOX The course will cover the topics related to antimicrobial resistance with basic definitions and overview on antimicrobials their use and the emergence and spread of resistance. The course will guide you through the concepts and the importance of resistance spread and dissemination and how that happens. It will show you how bacteria become resistant and which mechanisms they might use for this. And as part of the course you will also receive some training in methods for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and detection of specific resistance in the microbiological laboratories with the basic methods available and with focus on the obtention of good quality results which can be interpreted and used for different purposes Tags: Online Courses, AMR, Antimicrobial resistance, antimicrobial stewardship, Source: https://de.coursera.org/learn/antimicrob
