VetTeamAMR

VetTeamAMR is an initiative that champions the responsible use of antimicrobials within companion animal, farm animal, and equine veterinary teams. This major collaborative project, part sponsored by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD), brings together a cross-industry consortium to use and create the evidence base to support continuous improvements at the point of care. The project provides:

  • A unified point for the professions, created in collaboration with the major veterinary organisations, to access free online learning.
  • A community of veterinary professionals to network and share lessons on a national scale.
  • Annual antimicrobial stewardship awards to celebrate excellence. 
  • A hub of freely accessible, evidence-based knowledge and resources from us and others about antimicrobial use, covering antibiotics and anti-parasiticides, including anthelmintics. 
  • Audit tools for veterinary teams to measure and track change.

By using an evidence-based approach, we will ensure that antimicrobials are only used when necessary.

Why is this important?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the biggest threats that we face today. If antimicrobials are not used responsibly, common conditions will become life-threatening to both people and animals worldwide.

We must all work together to stop unnecessary antimicrobial use and fight resistance across human, animal and environmental health.
