Stephen McPartland MP, Co-Chair of the APPG for Liver Health, recently hosted an event in Westminster to highlight the evolving crisis of chronic liver disease in the UK and raise awareness of the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) on those with liver cirrhosis.
Stephen McPartland MP said, “Drug-resistant infections are now a leading cause of death worldwide and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been reconfirmed recently at the G7 as a priority issue. The UK has the potential to be a world leader in this important area and we have set out a road map in our UK’s five-year national action plan. We need politicians to ensure that there is appropriate investment and a national treatment infrastructure and further research funding so that this important research and other similar studies can continue.“
The event was held by the APPG in partnership with The British Liver Trust (BLT) and the National Institute of Health Research.
