Diane Ashiru-Oredope

Antimicrobial resistance is not a future fear, it is happening now, in the UK and abroad. In 2018 5000 deaths could be attributed to antibiotic resistant infections. Diane Ashiru-Oredope has developed The Antibiotic Guardian platform to tackle this through individual actions and pledges. Together we can all make a difference to safeguard this vital medication and our future health.

Keep antibiotics working – it’s your business


Diane Ashiru-Oredope is the Lead Pharmacist for the Antimicrobial Resistance Programme (AMR) at Public Health England. Since 2014 she has led the development of a national (now international) innovative behaviour change initiative, called ‘Antibiotic Guardian’. Without a budget, but through effective use of networks and collaborative working, she has secured pledges from more than 60,000 individuals in the UK and abroad, to contribute to the fight against antibiotic resistance. Passionate about developing and championing others, Diane has been Public Health England’s nominated mentor on the Business in the Community (BITC) National Cross Organisation mentoring circles for the last two years. She is also a mum of two young children who keep her very busy outside of work.
