Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the UK’s AMR Strategy 2019-2024 in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), focusing on pharmaceutical innovations. By analyzing trends in human and veterinary antibiotic use alongside resistance rates, the research identifies improvements in reducing antibiotic consumption and resistance, with MRSA resistance declining from 10% in 2016 to 6% in 2023. Despite these positive trends, the research highlights ongoing challenges in the development and implementation of new antibiotics and alternative therapies. Semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, including policymakers and pharmaceutical experts, reveal barriers such as regulatory issues, slow innovation, and insufficient funding for new drug development. The study also examines case studies of pharmaceutical innovations, including β-lactamase inhibitors, bacteriophage therapies, and antimicrobial peptides, noting progress in some areas, but significant gaps in others. The research concludes that while the UK’s AMR Strategy has led to some positive outcomes, further efforts are needed to accelerate the development of novel therapies and address structural barriers in the pharmaceutical sector. Future research should focus on enhancing international collaboration, improving regulatory frameworks, and incentivizing innovation to combat AMR more effectively. Comparative analysis with other countries' strategies could also provide valuable insights for improving the UK’s response to the AMR crisis.

Abstract

Background. Efforts to meaningfully integrate Aboriginal perspectives into Australian school curricula remain uneven and contested, often constrained by systemic limitations and a lack of culturally informed pedagogical frameworks. Aboriginal narratives, particularly those tied to Country, embody holistic systems of knowledge that challenge Western linear constructions of curriculum and offer alternative modes of understanding land, identity, and education. Purpose. This study explores how Aboriginal educational narratives are interpreted and integrated into curriculum practice by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators across diverse Australian school settings. Method. Employing a qualitative, multi-site case study approach, the research involved interviews with 22 educators and curriculum leaders, alongside analysis of classroom materials and reflective teaching journals. Results. The findings reveal that successful integration depends on deep, relational engagement with community knowledge holders, an ethic of cultural humility, and a willingness to reconfigure disciplinary boundaries. Educators who engaged in collaborative curriculum-making reported greater confidence in embedding Indigenous perspectives in ways that respect narrative sovereignty and pedagogical integrity. Conclusion. The study concludes that Aboriginal storytelling offers not only content but a method—transforming curriculum into a site of shared responsibility, ethical dialogue, and place-based learning.
