PHE - Corporate - Antimicrobial Resistance on Common Surgical Procedures

The main goal of this work is to quantify the major so-called- 'secondary effects' of ABR that are predicted to rise as resistance rises in the population.To quantify the indirect cost of ABR on surgical interventions, the project will establish a prioritised list of surgical interventions that would be affected by ABR and how likely the risk of an untreatable infection would have to be for surgery to be avoided for a range of surgical categories.
