answer text <p>The Government continues to work with a range of stakeholders towards the successful completion of the commitment to prioritise infection prevention and control (IPC), the management of infections and biosecurity in the built environment, ensuring that an understanding of antimicrobial resistance is integrated into health and social care estate design, veterinary practices, and farm settings, as specified in the <em>UK AMR National Action Plan 2024-2029</em>. The plan recognises the importance of the healthcare environment, not only as a potential source of infection, but also how building design can facilitate effective IPC practices.</p><p>Despite a growing body of evidence to suggest that the hospital-built environment, its fabric, layout, and equipment, can contribute to the spread of infection, the mechanisms are still not fully understood. The UK Health Security Agency has unique expertise and capabilities for investigating how the indoor environment contributes to the spread of infection, including aerobiology expertise deployed during various outbreaks, for example in COVID-19 and Mpox, and a dedicated research facility designed and built to simulate a hospital ward.</p><p>The age of much of the National Health Service estate means there is an ongoing need for repair, renovation, or replacement. Decisions made during the design, build, or refurbishment process are informed by the latest evidence, considering the spread of infection alongside a range of other factors.</p><p>The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs works with the veterinary sector and livestock industry to promote good practices and ensure the farm environment and design enables the rearing of healthy animals, reducing the need for antibiotics.</p>

answer text <p>The High-level Meeting (HLM) on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) offers an excellent opportunity to catalyse global progress. The UK's priority is a political declaration that sets a high level of ambition across human health, animal health and environmental sectors. The UK is particularly keen to promote more equitable global access to antimicrobials and their appropriate stewardship.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK's Ending Preventable Deaths campaign takes a multisectoral approach which includes tackling antimicrobial resistance, alongside strengthening health systems, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and broader determinants like nutrition, climate and water, sanitation and hygiene. Neonatal sepsis is a particular concern in the context of antimicrobial resistance and as such is where the UK will look to particularly align our work on water sanitation and hygiene, with our work on antimicrobial resistance and the health of mothers and newborns.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in communities and health care settings helps prevent the threat of antimicrobial resistance. The UK's &quot;WASH Systems for Health&quot; programme is working in six lower-middle-income countries to strengthen the systems that deliver sustainable WASH services. The UK-funded Hygiene and Behaviour Change Coalition supported 14,800 facilities with WASH supplies and trained 460,000 health workers on hygiene. We also focus on achieving universal WASH in health care facilities to combat antimicrobial resistance through partners the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Hand Hygiene for All Partnership.</p> more like this
