The PARC Project is exploring antimicrobial resistance and how cross infection is managed in cystic fibrosis clinics, using qualitative methods, including creative visual approaches. It is a multidisciplinary project involving sociologists of medicine and science, an academic architect, micro-biologists and a graphic artist. The research compares the way three outpatient lung infection clinics attempt to control AMR and cross-infection through the design, practices and architectural layout of their built environments. For further information contact Nik Brown (nik.brown@york.ac.uk) or Chrissy Buse (christina.buse@york.ac.uk).
