The UK’s National Action Plan to Confront Antimicrobial Resistance 2024-2029

The United Kingdom is a global pioneer in AMR data collection and analysis, the development of National Action Plans (NAPs), and community engagement in AMR control. The most recent incarnation of the UK NAP was released in mid-May 2024, and it outlines ambitious ambitions for addressing both the UK and global issues. The NAP’s core concepts include having a collaborative approach throughout the UK, maintaining a One Health response, and being a good global partner to reduce inequities and maintain resilience across four themes with nine strategic outcomes and thirty commitments. Overall, it is an interesting publication for the AMR community due to its ambition and scope. Key to this objective are the human health targets (though specific targets for data connection).
