Just two days before the Brexit deadline, the conference uses the theme ‘Building on Success’ to examine whether recent progress in stewarding antibiotics can be maintained, and what needs to be done to better support global efforts to battle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The role of media and public opinion in achieving positive change will also be discussed, and whether UK farming’s animal health and welfare and food safety are robust enough to take advantage of opportunities as well as address upcoming market challenges.
NFU Vice President Stuart Roberts will be speaking at the conference, as will chief veterinary officer Christine Middlemiss and American journalist and author on public and global health and food policy Maryn McKenna, who will be dissecting the role of the public and media in driving change in medicine stewardship.
The conference format will be interactive, with ample opportunity for delegates to engage in Q&A sessions with speakers and panellists. View the full programme here.
