In her tenth year at the Great Exhibition Road Festival, Rakhee Parmar shares how her team brought antimicrobial resistance to life through interactive stands. Families engaged with games, creative activities, and citizen science projects, sparking curiosity and conversations—empowering children to become young AMR ambassadors through fun, hands-on learning.

Earlier this year our HPRU hosted three local school students as part of the Maker Challenge, Outreach programme at Imperial. The programme aims to inspire young person into Science Technology, Engineering and Medicine.
To mark World Antimicrobial Awareness Week and in particular to highlight the different skills and disciplines needed to tackle antimicrobial resistance, we are sharing the blogs from those students reflecting on their experience and what they learned from our researchers.
We hope to see them back one day as PhD students, researchers, AMR Ambassadors and maybe even future Professors!
Researchers from HPRU in HCAI and AMR launched the pilot of the Antimicrobial Citizen Engagement (ACE) project at Manorfield Primary school, Tower Hamlets in October.

From 3-7 June 2024, the NIHR Global Health Research Group (NIHR GHRG) on Digital Diagnostics for African Health Systems convened an in-person workshop at Cape Point, The Gambia. The workshop aimed to gather insights from local stakeholders on the potential and application of portable digital diagnostics within Gambian health systems, and to enhance understanding and facilitate the integration of digital diagnostic tools to improve healthcare delivery in the region. This collaborative event was organised in partnership with the MRC Unit The Gambia at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (MRCG@LSHTM), a key partner in the consortium.
By retiring in July this year, Professor Paul Farrell leaves the St Mary’s Medical School almost 40 years after he arrived, and just a few months before Imperial leaves the building altogether. He leaves in his wake, a lasting legacy of virology and cancer research at Imperial.
