Great stakeholder meeting yesterday for #SWAB @AineMW @aineregan @mcaloonvet @egmanzanilla @LABoyle2 @agneBal - we formed hot topic groups - #AnimalWelfare group was well attended. It is wonderful to see such stakeholder engagement 👏

Very true! As part of the @agriculture_ie SWAB project, we will be running a quiz with teenagers to test their awareness of antimicrobial resistance - come to the @teagasc stand Friday morning @BTYSTE to check it out!
Great to see huge interest in #BTYSTE again this year. RTE report that ~60% of projects are Environment/Climate Change related. Would be great to see many more AMR projects over the coming years. Educating our school children will be a key to addressing AMR into the future!
