The below interdisciplinary centres and networks focus on policy and stewardship.

NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Healthcare Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance: The HPRU in Healthcare Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Resistance is a partnership between  and .  It brings together researchers from a range of disciplines and professions (including doctors, engineers, epidemiologists, microbiologists, pharmacists, behavioural scientists, economists, and nurses) to address the threat of AMR and healthcare associated infections. It focuses on four themes: 1) Priority pathogens, 2) Precision prescribing, 3) Practice, design and engineering, and 4) Population health and policy. 

The Centre for Antimicrobial Optimisation (CAMO): CAMO brings together innovative, multidisciplinary research to optimise antimicrobial use and sustain the effectiveness of these drugs in the face of increasing antimicrobial resistance and the absence of new treatments. Research focuses on: 1) the development of rapid diagnostic solutions, real-time biosensor technologies to monitor antimicrobial concentrations, and 3) using artificial intelligence and machine learning to assist with infection, detection, diagnosis, clinical decision making.

: CAMO-net is a unique global research partnership which aims to address the global impact of antimicrobial resistance on human health by fostering research partnerships across low, middle, and high resource settings and across urban and rural environments.

: Policy makers within the Fleming Initiative will convene with clinical scientists, behavioural scientists and the public to ensure that novel findings and ways to mitigate AMR are written into national and international policy.  Policymakers will be connected with the public – uniting them with the common mission of using policy tools to tackle antimicrobial resistance, domestically and internationally. The co-location of policy makers within the centre will ensure the work done has maximal and rapid impact at scale.
