The project “AMR-EDUcare – EduCation on Antimicrobial REsistance for the health workforce” has started on 1st March 2023.
This project has approved for funding by the EU4HEALTH programme, the EU programme for public health. AMR-EDUcare targets the prevention and reduction of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)’s health burden by filling educational gaps on AMR for both clinical and non-clinical health workforce, equipping the health workforce with the necessary knowledge and skills to address and adopting a strong focus on behavioural change and digital health skills for a more resilient and sustainable healthcare sector that improves the patient experience and delivers better health outcomes.

From BRU-Iscte, researchers Ana Lúcia Martins , Henrique Martins and Teresa Grilo of the Management group are involved. CIS-Iscte researchers are also part of the Iscte team.
