Antibiotics Awareness Week 2025!

World Antimicrobial Awareness Week 2025, also known as World AMR Awareness Week, is a global campaign aimed at improving awareness and understanding of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The theme for this year's campaign is "Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future," emphasizing the urgency of addressing AMR to prevent the emergence of drug-resistant infections. The campaign encourages best practices among the public, healthcare workers, animal health professionals, environmentalists, farmers, policymakers, the youth, civil society, and media to reduce the spread of AMR. Activities include high-level events, global youth summits, technical webinars, panel discussions, and more, organized worldwide to raise awareness and promote safe and sustainable antibiotic use.

women’s health - tell us how we’re doing – your voice matters!

In 2023 a project was launched which aimed to improve access, information and services for women’s health in Dorset, including a dedicated Women’s Health Website co-designed by and for the women and girls of Dorset.

A new survey is being re-circulated to gather views and experiences from women and girls in Dorset to find out if anything has changed.
