UKHSA Survey on AMR and HCAI Surveillance
The United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is conducting a survey to assess the impact and effectiveness of their AMR and HCAI surveillance outputs. This initiative directly supports the UK’s AMR National Action Plan 2024–2029 and presents a valuable opportunity for the community to influence how critical surveillance data is collected, presented, and disseminated.
What’s Being Evaluated?
The survey covers a wide range of UKHSA surveillance resources, including:
- Fingertips indicators
- Bacterial and fungal incidence data
- Surgical site and bloodstream infection reports
- ICU reports
- ESPAUR (English Surveillance Programme for Antimicrobial Utilisation and Resistance) report
- CPE (Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae) surveillance
- UKHSA AMR dashboard
- And many other surveillance outputs
Why Your Input Matters
UKHSA aims to use survey findings to:
- Improve accessibility of surveillance data and resources
- Enhance content quality and relevance
- Better present information to meet diverse user needs
- Assess the real-world impact of current surveillance efforts
- Support broader public health initiatives in AMR prevention
