Parliamentary inquiries play a crucial role in bridging scientific evidence and health policy. In response to the United Kingdom (UK) Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee inquiry on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), this Viewpoint presents a ‘crisis-resilient antimicrobial stewardship’ model designed to sustain effectiveness during emergencies while strengthening routine performance. The model is organized around five interconnected pillars: digital innovation and diagnostics, One Health and environmental governance, workforce resilience and training, surveillance and data integration, and governance and policy alignment. Positioned within the global policy context of the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Union (EU), and the Sustainable Development Goals, it embeds equity, sustainability, and accountability. Aligning national reforms with international frameworks can enhance the UK’s contribution to global AMR resilience and the 2030 Agenda.
