This episode it is our honour to be joined by Dr Diane Ashiru-Oredope. Diane is the Lead Pharmacist for the Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and Healthcare Associated Infections, UK Health Security Agency and the Global AMR lead for the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association. Diane developed and leads the international Antibiotic Guardian campaign and is currently leading an evidence review into pharmaceutical public health.

We chat to Diane about the risks posed by Antimicrobial Resistance - COVID has given us a valuable, and frightening, insight into what happens when we are faced with a disease we can’t treat. We also touch on her amazing work in supporting black and ethnic minority pre-registration pharmacists and the importance of developing good habits. We discuss Welsh maggots, find out why Gimmo is eating sauerkraut, standing on one leg and playing more computer games.

Our micro discussion focuses on Antibiotic overuse: managing uncertainty and mitigating against overtreatment. A fantastic editorial that asks the question - What do you do when you don’t know what to do? https://qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/early/2021/07/20/bmjqs-2021-013615

As with all our guests we ask Diane to pick her ‘Desert Island Drug’, a career defining anthem and a book that has influenced her work. The choices do not disappoint!
