Today is #HandHygieneDay! Clean hands are one of the most effective ways to prevent infections and slow the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Every infection prevented is one less opportunity for resistance to develop. #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #theAMRnarrative

Patient-centred evidence is evolving fast in #InfectiousDiseases - but how do we put it into practice? Starting soon in Hall ICM 13a at #ESCMIDGlobal2026, join experts and patient representatives exploring innovations in trial design, guidelines and #AI shaping future care.

Vanessa Carter highlights the reality of fragmented care. Multiple antibiotics prescribed while the source of infection remained unclear. #ESCMIDGlobal2026 #AMR #PatientSafety
