This includes:
- Reports and dashboards showing trends in bacterial and fungal infections
- Data on surgical site infections, bloodstream infections, and Intensive Care Unit cases
- Information about how antibiotics are being used and prescribed
UKHSA’s Evaluation and Epidemiological Science (EES) division is working with AMR & Healthcare-Associated Infection (HCAI) division to review how useful this data is. They’re asking:
- Is the data being used to make decisions?
- Who’s using it?
- Can it be presented in a clearer, more helpful way?
- Are there new data views that UKSHA should provide in the future?
EES is also creating a framework to help measure progress of the National Action Plan, including a “Theory of Change” — a kind of roadmap that shows how each part of the plan contributes to the overall goals.
Project aims
- Produce an internal report explaining how people are using the surveillance data and suggesting improvements
- Plan and run activities to gather ideas from key partners to shape the Theory of Change (TOC)
