The ABC of implementation

Implementation:

Dissemination

Adoption

Education

Change

WHO EML AB: A-WA-RE implications

• AB progressive change of status (AB are different, the more you use, the more

you lose them)

• The great potential: OneHealth common goals in human health, agriculture and

food producing animals

• The difficult (long-term) part: implementing optimal uses

Back to basics on implementation

Where am I?

You’re 30 metres above the ground

in a balloon

You must be a researcher

Yes. How did you know?

Because what you told me is absolutely

correct but completely useless

You must be a policy maker

Yes, how did you know?

Because you don’t know where you are, you don’t know where you’re going, and now you’re blaming

me

J Lomas, 2007

We need to look to non-traditional stewards, such as community

health workers and members of the public, in settings where health-

care professionals are a scarce resource.

strategy

2017

The Expert Committee recommended the appointment of a standing EML working group to:

• consider reviewing additional clinical syndromes

• adapt the current clinical synopsis to produce short structured documents;

• coordinate the development for the EML and EMLc of a guidance document on

optimal dose and duration of antibiotic;

• review the differential effect of antibiotic classes on the selection of resistance;

• Define key stewardship messages associated with the new categorization and

develop more detailed guidance to assist with the implementation of

recommendations


EML 2017-2019: a standing AB WG


EML AB and AWARE





• New syndromes: typhoid fever, AB surgical prophylaxis, dental infections

• New AB and AWARE categories

• Differences between amoxi and amoxi-clav

• New iteration of AWARE and AWARE targets (at least 60% Access … and an

Amoxi target for paed)

• An AB handbook and short guidances

• An AB/AMR electronic platform
