I’m currently away focusing on writing commissions. It was a pleasure to meet with Lisa McNeil, the Chair of the Aspergillosis Trust @aspertrust, along with Trustee Katie Martin, to discuss a story I’m developing to help raise awareness about the condition. Individuals with respiratory issues are particularly vulnerable, including the 7.2 million people in the UK who are registered as asthmatic. I encourage you to visit their website to learn more about their mission and the critical work they are doing. aspergillosistrust.org/

AMR, or Antimicrobial Resistance, is a natural phenomenon where infection-causing microorganisms (germs) such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to become resistant to the antimicrobial medicines that were designed to treat them. These antimicrobial medicines include antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and antiparasitics. AMR is a global health emergency, yet most patients and the public have never heard of it before. It is important that we can all play a role in protecting these life-saving medicines so they continue to work when we need them most. We've created this short video which explains the basics of AMR.

Our joint statement with @eupatientsforum on the #UNGA79 Declaration on #AMR calls for more patient and civil society participation in AMR policies. According to MEP @BosseStine, patient organisations must work together with policy-makers to achieve real change. ➡️ bit.ly/3N1kHtn #theAMRnarrative #AntimicrobialResistance
