Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global challenge to human and animal health requiring an interdisciplinary approach to research. The Aim of the Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ AMR Interest Group is to engage Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ staff and students to advance interdisciplinary research, within the theme of AMR, and promote the use of this research in policy and practice. The interest group is chaired by Emily Holmes, who holds a five-year Health and Care Research Wales Health Research Fellowship, investigating the impact of rapid diagnostics to reduce antibiotic prescribing in Wales.
Funding awarded through the Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ Innovation and Impact Award (Research Wales Innovation Funding). Value = £10,643

Description
Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå°æ is carrying out a survey of public attitudes to epilepsy and people with epilepsy in the UK.
This survey will measure the UK public attitude towards epilepsy and people with epilepsy in 2018. They will use a method that can be repeated at future time points, in order to track changing public attitudes over time.
The results from this project will assist Epilepsy Action in planning future work to improve awareness and understanding of epilepsy.
