Do you know we have a North West AMR #? Please tag with any info on #nhsnwamr.

This week the UK will host the @G7 Health Ministers' meeting in Oxford. #G7 international health ministers will discuss collaboration on global health issues including four key priorities. Swipe to find out more 👉

At @ABsteward's request, TB is pulled out into its own brand new table, including adding seminal short course, historical TB studies. So now there are 3 Shorter Is Better Tables. The original. TB Is Complex. And Exceptions. If you know of other TB RCTs, let me know!

“Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the silent pandemic that is growing in the shadows.” @UKAMREnvoy explains the growing risks of AMR and the need for innovation and global action to contain it, ahead of the @G7 Health Ministers' meeting next week. See▶️inews.co.uk/news/health/da…

There is no evidence that the #COVID19 vaccine has an impact on fertility. Watch Dr Gayatri Amirthalingam, a consultant from the national immunisation team at @PHE_uk, explain in more detail 👇 Get more information from @RCObsGyn: rcog.org.uk/en/news/RCOG-a…

“Direct oral challenge safe & effective for de-labelling patients at low risk for true allergy. Important for optimizing patient care and tackling #AMR” doi.org/10.1093/jacamr… #JACAMRNews #AMR #AMS @SAPGAbx @lac_cooper @jenny_harbour @raseaton66 @jacquisneddons

Great to see the 3rd AMS regional lead post being advertised, this time in the North West. Building a team of expert pharmacists in NHSE&I to champion the AMR/AMS agenda in the regions and nationally. Expecting to see some strong candidates. @keithridge1 jobs.england.nhs.uk/job/v2954447

Reducing unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions in #COVID19 remains a challenge. Our paper tackling this finally out in @BSACandJAC! Routinely measured inflammatory markers can help exclude bacterial co-infection & promote #antimicrobialstewardship (1/5) academic.oup.com/jac/advance-ar…

We’re pleased to announce a donation of £100 million from @INEOS to establish the new INEOS Oxford Institute, helping us to combat one of the world’s greatest healthcare challenges - antimicrobial resistance >> ox.ac.uk/news/2021-01-1…

I am proud of the UK's history of working with our international partners to combat Antimicrobial Resistance. 193 countries signed the historic global declaration in 2016- recognising that AMR is a global priority that needs global action and collaboration. 🌍🇺🇳💊

I’m reading that a life is saved for every 20 covid vaccines given . If we have given just over 6300 just in our hospital..... what a difference that will make 🤞. We have to push on - we can do this.

How vital pharmacy teams ARE not can be.... The lack of hospital pharmacy representation in the officers @rpharms is really frustrating

I am delighted to announce that @ShionogiGI and @pfizer have been selected to move forward for the UK's world-first ‘subscription-style’ payment model for antimicrobials. Today is an important step for securing new treatments for patients. 💊 england.nhs.uk/blog/how-the-n…

Bacterial co-infection is reassuring low in patients presenting with COVID19 (thankfully!). Check out the recent @rpharms @UKCPAPIN webinar from 5th Nov for more info

Is there any further info on who are the vulnerable groups for the 12 week isolation. Guidance says anyone who would get flu vaccine, so do we isolate all asthmatics? All diabetics?

@HPRUamr @MGilchrist123 Hi - could you send some info through? Thanks.

Calling all healthcare organisations! How about joining us in a 🌍 antibiotic amnesty to mark WAAW 2018? Tried and tested by Imperial @HPRUamr for 3 years, DM us for details and info pack
