Opportunity to help shape the future of phage therapy in the UK

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is looking for patients, carers, and family members with lived experience of antibiotic-resistant, or otherwise difficult-to-treat bacterial infections to take part in PHAGE ENGAGE, a patient and public involvement initiative to help more people benefit from phage therapy.

Phage therapy uses naturally occurring viruses called bacteriophages (phages) to target and kill specific bacteria and is being explored as a treatment for infections that do not respond to antibiotics.

Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences, help shape patient information and communications, identify barriers to access, and contribute to discussions about the future development and evaluation of phage therapy in the UK. No prior knowledge or experience of phage therapy is required.

The first workshop will take place in person in Bristol on 23 October 2026, followed by an online workshop in March 2027. There will also be opportunities to stay involved, contribute feedback, and receive updates by email and online between workshops.

To register your interest in attending a workshop or receiving updates about the project, please complete the form here:

Today, we’re joining people around the world to recognise Day and the importance of making healthcare safer for every patient.

For people affected by antimicrobial resistance (AMR), patient safety can be a matter of life and death.

Getting the right diagnosis.
Getting the right treatment.
Using antibiotics safely and appropriately.
Listening to patients and learning from their experiences.

These things matter.

At AMR Action UK, we believe that patients must have a voice in the decisions that affect their care - and that preventing avoidable harm from drug-resistant infections must be a priority.

This World Patient Safety Day, let’s keep speaking up for patients, supporting healthcare professionals and working together to make care safer for everyone.
