Antimicrobial Resistance in Dentistry
About us
NHS England led project
We aim to tackle antimicrobial resistance on a regional level, within the Midlands. On this page you will find resources and information for use within primary care and secondary care dental settings.
Antimicrobial resistance is a global health problem. The government has implemented a 5-year action plan and long term 20-year strategy to tackle antimicrobial resistance from a national and international perspective.
Evidence Based Approach
We only share resources and information from reputable sources. All of our information has been fact checked and adapted from dental use.
We can provide you with the tools to tackle antimicrobial resistance through action plans, strategies, and audits.
