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.
