📢 It’s World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness week We’re working with @UKHSA to support this year’s theme: Educate. Advocate. Act now. Why not take a moment to explore the free TARGET Antibiotic toolkit for guidance and resources on antimicrobial stewardship and tools for prescribers. You’ll also find our series of free webinars, covering patient perceptions of infections and antibiotics, support for new and early career prescribers, and managing recurring UTIs, that you can sign up for! #WAAW #KeepAntibioticsWorking Explore the hub. ➡️ elearning.rcgp.org.uk/course/info.ph…

It's still day 3 of WAAW but we wanted to share another resource for our sector of the day Acute Care! Review IV antibiotics daily... many oral antibiotics we use in NHS Tayside have excellent bioavailability. Stopping IVs promptly saves resources too!🌎#WAAW2024 @AntibioticScot

Day 3 'Sector of Day' for World AMR Awareness Week is Acute Care! Consider the key stewardship messages found in SODA POP! for patients in acute care in NHS Tayside (also on top banner of our website!)#keepantibioticsworking #WAAW2024 #antibioticguardian @AntibioticScot @SAPGAbx

Non-medical prescribers across all NHS Tayside care sectors prescribe antimicrobials & there is fantastic engagement with stewardship by this group of staff. We are delighted @NHSTayside NMP policy includes a stewardship section & promotes audit & education & 5Rights⬇️🥰#WAAW2024

We've teamed up with the Infection & Travel Medicine ward (J20) this WAAW to show you how to be "Hands Ready, Ward Ready"🏥 #AMR #AntimicrobialResistance #AntibioticGuardian #KeepAntibioticsWorking #WAAW @LeedsHospitals @LTHT_SIM

It's Day 2 of World AMR Awareness Week.... sector of the day is Dental Care. Antibiotics don’t cure toothache. Toothache is often caused by decay which may lead to infection. Seek dental professional advice & adopt self care such as hydration, rest and pain relief. #WAAW2024
