AMR NNCGSI – Your last chance to take part!
The final webinar in this NNCGSI series took place on 13th January. The deadline for submissions is 30th January.
In November 2025, the Nursing Now Challenge (NNC), in collaboration with the new AMR Futures Lab at Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI), launched a Nursing Now Challenge Global Solutions Initiative (NNCGSI) to empower nurses and midwives around the world to take action on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the most urgent threats to global health today.
Through this challenge, participants have been invited to design an innovative, nurse/ midwife-led AMR project that can be implemented in their workplace or community. The initiative aims to spotlight the critical role nurses and midwives play in infection prevention, and antimicrobial stewardship, in the advancement of sustainable health solutions.

“AMR Futures Lab, based at the University of Edinburgh’s Futures Institute, is dedicated to tackling antimicrobial resistance through collaborative, evidence-driven solutions specifically involving end users and adopters of these solutions. By integrating research insights with global frontline healthcare expertise we develop practical strategies that improve patient outcomes and strengthen health systems worldwide in the fight against AMR.” Professor Till Bachmann, Founder AMR Futures Lab.
Winners of this NNCGSI will receive mentoring from expert researchers in the field of AMR, providing invaluable guidance and support to develop their projects. They will also have the opportunity of winning a study visit to leading secondary care hospitals in Bangalore to learn about antimicrobial stewardship as well as support on developing their idea further to implementation.
We invite you to join the NNCGSI private Facebook Group, here and connect with nurses and midwives from around the world.
