The antibiotic procurement saga: a long-neglected stewardship target to combat antimicrobial resistance in Pakistan by Shairyar Afzal, Mishal Bajwa, Nabeel Ahmed, Jawaria Jabeen, Mian Shahzeb Haroon, Rana Muhammad Zahid Mushtaq, Zikria Saleem

“…Results The study identified five central themes: (1) The state of antibiotic use in hospitals is characterized by a lack of antibiotic use policy, resulting in mostly empirical and irrational prescribing practices. (2) Medicine availability significantly influences prescribing decisions, often taking precedence over clinical needs. (3) The procurement process, although structured, is flawed owing to rigid adherence to the Standard Medicine List (SML). (4) Rationality in procurement is compromised by disregard for AMR, with decisions driven more by cost and demand than clinical evidence. (5) The clinical acumen of pharmacists is underutilized in procurement due to multifarious barriers. …”

Role of Subsurface Geo-Energy Pilot and Demonstration Sites in Delivering Net Zero by M. H. Stephenson, D. A. C. Manning, M. J. Spence, L. Stalker, Z. K. Shipton, A. A. Monaghan

“…A Geological Society conference on the “Role of subsurface research labs in delivering net zero” in February 2021 considered the value of test sites and gaps in their capability. Gaps were identified in two areas: 1) test facilities to aid the design of low cost, high resolution, unobtrusive seismic and other monitoring for a seismically noisy urban environment with a sensitive human population, for example for ATES in urban areas; and 2) a dedicated through-fault zone test site to understand fault transmissivity and reactivation. …”
