Centres for Antimicrobial Optimisation Network (CAMO-Net)

CAMO-Net is a global collaborative research network focused on antimicrobial optimisation for use in humans.

About

The David Price Evans Global Health and Infectious Diseases Research Group has been coordinating the global collaboration that produced the Wellcome Trust 'Optimising antimicrobial use in humans: a research roadmap' report.

The research themes identified in this report have informed the development of the Centres for Antimicrobial Optimisation Network (CAMO-Net), addressing national priorities and building on our institutional research strengths and networks.

CAMO-Net is a global collaborative research network focused on antimicrobial optimisation for use in humans, underpinned by the values of equity, local leadership, co-production of activities, knowledge mobilisation, mutual cross-regional learning, training, capacity and capabilities strengthening, and output sharing.

Vision

The CAMO-Net vision is a world where the appropriate, evidence-based use of antimicrobials is commonplace, supported by equitable availability and accessibility.

Mission

The CAMO-Net mission is to complement and enhance the existing ecosystem of global programmes designed to alleviate the global burden and impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and poorly treated infections by creating and nurturing a sustainable and equitable ecosystem for global research to optimise the use of antimicrobials in humans.

This will be achieved through producing contextually relevant tools, technologies, guidelines, and practices that can be readily implemented with the support of governments and policymakers.
