Project Details
Description
Policy background and supporting role of the project
The Centre of Expertise for Waters (CREW) fosters the development of knowledge that informs and shapes policy through its research initiatives. As part of its Water Quality and Health theme, CREW will support the Scottish Government’s delivery of the 2024-2029 United Kingdom (UK) National Action Plan (NAP) on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in alignment with commitment 7.1. This will be achieved by building on CREW’s successful consolidation of the Scottish One Health AMR Register (SOHAR) in 2021, which provided a comprehensive overview of the AMR research landscape in Scotland.
The need for this research
The Scottish Environment, Food and Agriculture Research Institution (SEFARI) group developed a prototype in 2022 to support conversion of the SOHAR to an accessible online tool. However, the SOHAR has not been updated beyond its initial publication in 2021, underscoring a critical gap in knowledge. It is essential that the relevance of the SOHAR is maintained to ensure its utility as a vital informative and coordinating tool for monitoring progress, identifying gaps, and guiding evidence-based decisions. Updating the register will address this gap and support the Scottish Government in meeting its commitments under the UK AMR NAP.
Project aim
The project aims to update the existing SOHAR to incorporate developments in the AMR research landscape over the last 3 years, identify key priorities for the register’s development and progression, and showcase work and collaborations in Scotland as well as external partnerships.
How the proposal will address this aim
This will be achieved by systematically gathering and evaluating published and ongoing research of relevance to AMR undertaken by researchers in Scotland. Our team is strategically equipped to deliver this update, leveraging extensive experience in project management and expertise in AMR research and policy.
