Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) must be urgently tackled [1]. Strategies to tackle AMR must include using high quality surveillance data to rapidly modify policy and practice. Yet, in the UK and elsewhere, AMR surveillance is conducted by specialists located in organisations separate from hospital practitioners. This leads to communication challenges, including delays, difficulty in communicating technical limitations around interpretation of data, and a lack of clinical interpretation of surveillance data.
