• We are the Scottish One Health Antimicrobial Use and Antimicrobial Resistance, or SONAAR, team a multi-disciplinary team, vets working with colleagues in human healthcare, co-ordinating a One Health programme using an approach where human health and other sectors, animal health (of farmed and companion animals and wildlife), food and the environment are considered together.
• We’re working to implement the UK’s AMR strategies (5-year action plan and 20-year Vision) with Scottish Government.
• We’re surveillance-led, part of Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare Acquired Infection (ARHAI), and in animal health are partnered by Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) and Small Animal Veterinary Surveillance Network (SAVSNET).
• We publish outputs annually each November in the SONAAR report.
• We’re listening to and working with the animal health industry and prescribers, core are our animal health stakeholder groups.
• We’ve created, with our stakeholders, this Scotland’s Healthy Animals website as a guidance hub for all animal keepers, veterinary and animal health professionals and the public as countryside users, in disease avoidance and antimicrobial stewardship.
