Antimicrobial Waste Management: Needs Identification Workshop
24-25 October 2023, Lisbon
The workshop aimed to gather expert opinions, recognise knowledge gaps and understand varying antimicrobial waste reduction and management trends from a multidisciplinary perspective.
It traced the pathway of waste throughout clinical settings, considering opportunities for reduction and best practices for safe disposal.
Therefore, the workshop started with clinical considerations to reduce waste at the point of care intervention and finished with optimum disposal practices that prevent contamination of the environment and AMR development in this area.
