Description
*CAUTION - Explicit Language in this episode*How much would you worry about a simple cut ? Probably not much as long as you can get to a medical professional on time and obtain the correct treatment. But what if I was to say that in a few years to come, antibiotics will no longer work? And a simple cut could leave you hugely at risk of sepsis and death. This could be the situation unless we address resistant microbes in our environment and joining me on the podcast to talk about this subject is Professor Dame Sally Davies.Dame Sally was the Chief Medical Officer for England and Senior Medical Advisor to the UK Government from 2011-2019. Dame Sally Davies was appointed as the UK Government’s Special Envoy on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in 2019.
