  • ZeST replicates the benefits of face-to-face games in a simple web-based tool that anyone can use. It does not require any training or special technology.

    ZeST games are designed to be played during group meetings on Zoom, Skype, Teams, WebEx. There is no direct link between ZeST and these meetings platforms. The facilitator just shares their ZeST screen with the group.

    The actual games are designed to be very simple to manage allowing the facilitator to concentrate on encouraging and maintaining group discussions.

    ZeST games will help you to recreate the energy and discussions you’d get during a face-to-face game.

    A single licence gives you unrestricted access to a specific game on the ZeST platform for 12 months. A single licence allows one online game session to be run at any time. However, you can invite as many participants as you wish to each session and you can organise as many back-to-back game sessions as you need. You can also purchase additional licenses.

  • Effective training and capacity building are vital to the success of stewardship programmes, particularly when staff are new to the concept. The AMS Game makes stewardship training engaging and inclusive. It generates fun and enthusiasm with a serious purpose and clear outcomes.

    Players discuss AMS and learn what they can do personally, and collectively, to improve stewardship in their organisation and their community. It will help them to understand the scale of the problem and that we are all jointly part of the solution.

    The 4 broad areas addressed in the game are:

    • Introduction to antimicrobial resistance & stewardship
    • Administering medications
    • Appropriate use of antimicrobial agents
    • Infection prevention and control
    • Stewardship and surveillance
