Addressing health inequalities in infection and antimicrobial resistant infections: a UK-wide collaborative toolkit

Resources: introduction

Existing resources, including data sources, guidelines, toolkits, and flowcharts, as well as e-learning sources, to support teams in translating local needs into action.

This section brings together existing resources, including data sources, guidelines, toolkits, and flowcharts, as well as e-learning sources, to support teams in translating local needs into action. These resources provide structured approaches, recommended practices, and decision-making support, helping users design and implement interventions informed by the patterns and priorities identified.

Information for each resource has been provided against a set of descriptors (see below) to help users quickly identify those most relevant to their needs and suitable for adaptation. A full list is available in Annexe NAP AMR Health Inequalities toolkit_v0.2. Resources have also been categorised by population group (Table 1). The population groups used are in line with those described in the Health inequalities in health protection report 2025. Where a resource is applicable to multiple groups, it is listed under each relevant category to support ease of navigation and use.
