In this episode, Mike and Julian are joined by Fergus Allerton, a leading voice in antimicrobial stewardship within veterinary medicine, to tackle the pressing issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
They kick things off with a light-hearted chat about sore throats and antibiotics before diving into the complexities of AMR and the global risks it poses. Fergus breaks down how antimicrobial resistance develops, why responsible antibiotic use is critical, and highlights key initiatives like the PROTECT ME guidelines and Antibiotic Amnesty.
The conversation also explores parallels between human and veterinary medicine, the role of education—especially for children, and how One Health links human and animal health.
Fergus shares his personal experiences, including his work as an independent visitor with Barnardo’s and his passion for veterinary medicine. To wrap up, he takes on the 60-second CPD challenge, offering practical, actionable steps for vets to make a real impact in antimicrobial stewardship.
