Real-world impact of the CwPAMS programme
The Commonwealth Partnerships for Antimicrobial Stewardship (CwPAMS) programme Phase 1 Impact Report demonstrates the real-world impacts that CwPAMS delivers across the world.
Funded by the Fleming Fund, the CwPAMS programme leverages the expertise of UK health institutions and technical experts to strengthen the capacity of the national health workforce and institutions in eight partner countries to address AMR challenges, as well as creating opportunities for bidirectional learning.
Delivered by Global Health Partnerships (formally THET) and the Commonwealth Pharmacist Association (CPA), CwPAMS helps to tackle AMR by using the well-tested methodology of Health Partnerships. CwPAMS focuses on improving and maintaining health workforce capacity to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with antimicrobial use.
Overall, as a result of CwPAMS activities, health practitioners have begun to apply the knowledge gained into AMS practices. This has resulted in positive changes demonstrated through clear empirical evidence such as pharmacist upskilling and recognition, resulting in increased inclusion of pharmacists on the wards and on committees.
